This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Conceptually This doesn’t seem too different from Perrier or San Pellegrino who for decades have had expensive water. I think a 750mL of Pellegrino was $7 on a menu I saw recently and I’ve seen Fiji water (still) for around the same.
3-5X the price of gasoline. People is dumb.
