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)

WV? In the 90s, I remember my uncle still didn't have a septic tank or sewage; the family still used an outhouse. For breakfast, they'd often make biscuits and gravy with this weird, and I assume cheap, canned-gravy I've never seen anywhere else (was good, but likely very unhealthy). Most of my family from there are dead now (drugs, shit-life-syndrome).

Also, I didn’t have a septic tank either as a kid. I remember using outhouses at relatives houses and our shit (at my house) just went from a pipe to the creek.

It’s hard to imagine living like that nowadays, but I did once upon a time.

You know it. I’m a West (by God) Virginian.

Crazy how I can just talk about the place and my fellow West Virginians know it without me saying it.

You and I have the same story haha.

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.
