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.

Why is Booboo from Yogi Bear the singer?

Not enough people go camping anymore, so the picnic basket market is no longer viable and they were forced to diversify.

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.
