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.

I've not been in a McDonald's in decades. Nice to see? I vaguely recall fountains in there but I'm left wondering how much sugar water does one need? Diabetes in a cup anyone?
Add what the fluid does to interfere with proper food digestion no wonder so many are so sickly and overweight.
I wish like financial literacy they taught proper nutritional health that served the public versus the corporations.
They have these sickly consumers screaming government over reach when they try to curb these products with regulations trying to convince everyone, they are just weak and they should be able to override these rewards centers that have been hijacked in the brain with willpower.
Meanwhile at the same time these groups then desire the strong arm of the law to come down very hard on drug addicts when they are just another form of a addict but a less severe form that is functioning somewhat.
It's a quite the duality to witness. Humans are interesting...
Interesting. Do you know why?
I remember decades ago the ads on TV when burger king added self service fountains. It was a BIG DEAL to have unlimited free refills.
Uhm, money? What other reasons would a big corp have?
I read exactly this article, a week later my go-to was closed for 3 weeks everything but the drive-thru, then this pic.
