A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Olive oil is made of olives… at least in Italy it is. Anyway, what about baby oil? Better not think about it.

In Africa because of the large number of languages they put pictures of what's in the package on the label. Gerber baby food had some issues when it first sold in Africa.

Ouch! That was pretty brutal. Goes to show that you have to understand the market you’re trying to operate in.
