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.

Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings. (files.catbox.moe)

Well, depends on if the advertising matches the product.

I mean, they list the ingredients and percentages.

They list what they claim are the ingredients and percentages.

They're also the state. Who is going to fine them?

Yup realize the state isn't making them, right? It's a partnership/subsidization with one of the food companies that handles welfare foods.

If the state stands to profit from the relationship the distinction is meaningless beyond muttering about the merger of state and corporate power.

How are they profiting?
