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.

Recently got some burritos from a food bank and while looking for cooking directions I found this nutrition chart. Never seen a food product use anything other than calories for energy, thought it was interesting.

I was always confused by how kcal and Calories are the same in the US, but apparently it's the capital C that is the difference. Surely some marketing ploy from the past that stuck.
