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.

The bear (Goldbär = gold bear) is the mascot from the Brand (HARIBO = Hans Riegel Bonn), a German sweets company. They came up with the Goldbär because of the then competitor "Gummibären" (gummy bears). The bear is on most types of gummies the brand offers link to online shop if interested sometimes together with the liquorice-boy.
