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.

Fantastic idea, but did they need to use plastic packaging?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

of course, because you’re not allowed to have perfect.

They even wrap single apples in plastic in Korea. The environmental thinking is slowly adapting though.

Plus the waste of the all the bananas that don’t look perfectly the same

I mean, that is mildly interesting, but it's so fucking silly. So unnecessary...

Seriously... Just pick the exact ripeness of each one in any store where I live. Mix and match, it's totally, 100% socially acceptable to do this.

You can't buy individual bananas in many places in my country.

I'm not buying three bunches of bananas, each at different stages of ripeness. That's a ridiculous amount of bananas.

You can’t? Are fruits/produce not sold by weight over there?

Potato potato. South Korea is the most americanized country in Asia by far.

Ban single use plastics already.

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

That's literally the first thing I thought of while looking at that picture. There's no good reason for this. Bananas serve many purposes from green to yellow to black. Moreover, that "one per day" gimmick won't even give you the same ripeness.

Incredibly wasteful

People stop buying shit wrapped in plastic. Once you stop , businesses will stop.

Fantastic idea, although doesn't seem to compensate their 69h week work
