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.

I'm kind of like how many things that are made in the USA are more accurately described as being "partially assembled in the USA", by the way a product can say that it is for instance, "made with 100% beef" while actually containing many non beef products, since that can be more accurately specified as "100% of the beef in this product is made with 100% beef"
100 percent beef rarely computes. Technically adding and salt now makes it less than 100 percent. We certainly want to know when it is 50 percent soy meal but if you allow other ingredients to be ignored, than the guys that add soy also want to embellish. Like you said, only 100 percent of the beef is 100 percent beef.
