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.

A small sample of a color. Paint stores, for example, have color swatches that are small squares of paper in the colors they offer so you can bring them home and see how they look in the room you're painting before making a purchase. In this case, it's a fake nail in the color of the polish so you can see what your hand would look like with a nail that color before buying it.

TIL That looks like a useful word to know, and a good concept to keep in mind for consumers
