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.

“We’re making an effort, see?”

In 5 years:

Studies show menthol cigarette consumption has remained the same.

I do not trust they will handle this without corruption meddling laws and loopholes.

Canada has outright banned the sale of menthol cigarettes. You cannot buy them in Canada.

Glad to to hear that. Lemme know when the US is matched with Canada in terms of corruption. Also, let me know what happened to spicy skittles. They made them for a year and stopped entirely. They were fucking good, man. It sounds weird, and that’s why it was a Halloween thing, but they were good. Spicy, then sweet. I fucking loved them. And they ripped them away from me. Why?
