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 "to dispense" instructions are interesting. Put a tube 3/4 of the way into the water, pinch it, and then "pull downward 12 to 18 inches"... good way to create a vacuum and start the siphon action without putting your mouth on the tube.
