Fun fact

In the United Kingdom in Victorian times, the concept of quality wasn’t really the number one concern of manufacturers. So much so that in the midst of the industrial revolution, bakers weren’t exactly shy about mixing plaster, chalk or detergent in with their flour to make bread denser and whiter. It’s fair to say, things weren’t always better in the olden days.
