Internet users are bewildered over this oatmeal cooking label that was posted to Reddit on the r/mildlyinteresting subreddit.
Reddit, the popular social news aggregation site, offers various subsections where different types of content and topics can be posted and discussed amongst users. Through "upvoting" or "downvoting" a post, the users can contribute to the overall rating of content which determines how posts appear on the feed. If a post garners a high number, or percentage, of upvotes within a given threshold of time, it will move onto r/all. r/all, thereby is what Reddit claims itself to be… 'The Front Page of the Internet."
This subreddit contains precisely what you might expect it to have, based on its name. (Although that is not always the case.) Perusing the pages of r/mildlyinteresting will reveal a collection of oh-so-interesting things in a very mild sort of way.
When u/IGotTheDud shared this image with the caption "The instructions on my oatmeal say to cook it longer in the French translation." to the popular subreddit, other users were perplexed as to exactly what this could mean.
One commenter, Bridgetss, was the first to make the quip about "metric minutes" to explain the bizarre label.
Other commenters added their ideas and funny commentary into the mix as everyone puzzled onwards.
