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.

Oreos are quite a bit cheaper, and they actually stand up to the rain quite well too, which is a little disconcerting.

Sounds about as ultra processed as the Twinkie^®^

I’m not saying Oreos aren’t ultra processed, because obviously they are, but the ability to hold up in water is actually something UP carbs lack. Ultra processed snacks are lots of food pieces that have been “glued” back together with sugars or whatever, so they typically dissolve in water very easily. A piece of homemade bread on the other hand, holds up relatively well to moisture.
