When butter was rationed, wartime bakers turned to mayo cake. Yes, mayonnaise. It adds fat, moisture, and no, you can't taste it.

Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares, and take
The winds of March with beauty.

In 1971 U.S. law declared that Scottish haggis was not allowed in America because it has sheep lung.

Artificial dyes? Fine.
Chlorinated chicken? Sure.
One lung in a sausage? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Smugglers, do your thing. 🥴.

In 1984, Ralston released Gremlins Cereal, a sweetened corn cereal shaped like Mogwai heads. Marketed as part of the ‘Gremlins’ movie craze, the box even came with a free sticker inside! But like the Mogwai’s strict “No food after midnight” rule, this cereal vanished from shelves after a short run.
