Mildly Interesting

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.

Sorry, I didn’t mean healthy but ‘healthy’ – like compared to the usual soda that most people get with their fast food.

Like, if you’re going to make your own salad and have a kale drink, that’s different from going to Culver’s butterburgers and shakes in the first place.

In that case, water or milk is much healthier than a triple-dipped ice cream shake, right?

You're missing the point. Chocolate sugar milk isn't healthier than cola sugar water, they're both very unhealthy. They're giving you a discount for ordering a cheaper product, and still making more money off of it.

Let people talk, I found it interesting too

Sorry I am not buying that bullshit. Enjoy chocolate milk, it’s delicious, but “less unhealthy than ice cream” is not sharp enough to cut. The pricing gimmick in the OP image is just marketing.

I didn’t say it was healthy, just ‘healthy’, and I didn’t say it was’t marketing, only mildly interesting.
