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.

Ingredient: Ricin, Where it comes from: Castor beans, What it's used for: Poison.

Ingredient: Asbestos

Comes from: naturally occurring mineral

Used for: mild abrasive

To be fair here though, how much toothpaste do you dry and snort these days?
