Mildly Interesting

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.

Not to be outdone, Trump had the following announcement from the White House:

"Today, the USA introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at over $10. Made of 0% cocoa, hydrogenated corn syrup, and trans fats. No natural ingredients, no milk, no vanilla. It's bigly on flavor and very, very, tasty. We are taking pre-orders now at USAChocolate.gov."

It must be packaged in a gold wrapper.

Are you sure they would use TRANS fats?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago

Since the traitors actually cut funding for transgenic scientific study because they don’t know what trans means, this is in the realm of realistic. That’s where we’re at.

They mean the rendered fat of the trans people they're planning to kill on an individual scale. Only half of that statement was a joke btw.

If we're using the hersey model, it would be 50% castor oil, and 50% butyric acid.

Oh, and it's gold. Not the wrapper, I mean, that is too, but the chocolate is a solid metallic gold color, like you are literally biting into a gold bar. It tastes nothing like chocolate.

bites into injection molded PFAS chocolate bar

spits out chewed candy bar

The best part is if you get the app subscription you can refill the taste for the next time you chew on it!

The MAGA candy bar on a stick in a gold wrapper $49.99. On a stick because it is for suckers.

The lady doing the presentation said that it has 35% of cane sugar.

Also behind her you see "hecho con azúcar de caña" which means "made with cane sugar".

Cane sugar is generally at least a bit refined merely to purify it (so unlike High-Frutose Corn Syrup it's not made by chemically transforming something else).

That said, it's unclear if they use unrefined sugar cane, though that stuff is a complete total pita to work with hence I doubt it's not in the least bit refined.

Mind you I looked around and the info on this is all over the place: like for example saying "no added sugars" but then a bit further it turns out it has "cane sugar", which does mean that sugars were added (as the cocoa plant doesn't produce cane sugar, that would be the sugarcane plant).

Mind you, by all indications this beats almost all North American chocolates, but that hardly a tall barrier to overcome. It's pretty common to find similar stuff in European supermarkets.

What would sweeten it if it didn’t have added sugars? I’m not sure I fully understand what you’re saying.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

He's saying its likely got cane sugar, which is basically "less" refined sugar. It seems unlikely it has no added sugars and likely what they are trying to say is: it has no high processed sugars/artificial sweeteners.

She also said it contains soy lecithin (just a little!) and salt

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me this is just another way the Government is taking money for the Lopez family
