A Hidden Gem in the Terms and Conditions

It's become an internet joke that no one reads the terms and conditions, pages and pages of the legalese you need to agree to in order to use a website, or download an app, or sign up for service. You might do it when it's turned into a game or a comic book, but almost always we just agree and go on without reading them. Lucky for us, there are a few rare people who do, and if something really odd or nefarious is hiding in there, they will alert us. We have become so used to skipping a lot of dense reading that people sometimes hide treasure amid the prose to see who will read it. Pro tip: never, ever skip reading terms and conditions for a mortgage.

One of those people who actually read the terms and conditions is TikToker @mckenziefloyd's boyfriend, who read through the streaming service Peacock's terms and conditions and found a recipe! It's not just any recipe, but the recipe for Kevin's chili, which you might remember from The Office, in a classic scene where he spilled a huge pot of the chili he was so proud of.

You'll find the recipe spelled out at Digg, although it seems quite a bit more complicated than the way I make chili. Or you can read Peacock's terms and conditions to try to find it.
