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.

That would be reasonable, yeah. Every normal person calls it "oat milk". But the dairy industry has lobbied to make that illegal, so now it's generally called "oat drink" on products.
"Drink" is a bit more strict than I would have been. But it's better than "mylk", "mölk", "malk", "~~milk~~"... or all the other tries on making it sound like the thing it replaces while still being legally distinct. All I want is being able to quickly pre-filter products by name before reading the list of ingredients.
There was that one time that someone misread "milk" and instead used authentic Bulgarian miak and it nearly cost the entire town their children.
