What Is Absinthe, Exactly?
Absinthe is one of those spirits that's wrapped in as many myths as it is mysteries. It's been both cherished and scorned, feared and misunderstood. In movies and TV shows absinthe often gets painted with a big, bold brush of emerald green, usually shown as the bad guy behind tales of chaos and crazy visions.
Despite getting a bad rap and being banned for nearly a hundred years in many places, absinthe is making a major comeback. Today it's all the rage at craft distilleries and the hot ingredient in trendy cocktails.
But what's the true scoop on absinthe? How is it made? What kicked off its notorious bans, and how are folks enjoying it these days? What keeps people so fascinated by it? Stick with us as we answer these questions and find out how absinthe has reemerged into the limelight, now more enchanting and popular than ever before.

Think about the last time you walked into a movie theater. That warm, buttery smell that hits you isn't just there to make your mouth water. It's a big part of why we love going to the movies. But how did popcorn become the star of the show? The story of popcorn starts about 8,000 years ago when people first grew maize from a wild grass called teosinte, which doesn't look much like the corn we ...

The Bubble-Matic Gun's popularity sparked an entire line of bubble...
History Of The Food Pyramid Scheme
มุมมอง 47121 วันที่ผ่านมา
During the groovy 70s, the world was stuck in the middle of a giant grain shortage, and the outlook was looking pretty bleak. Soybean production was down seven percent, Canada’s wheat production hit a 10-year low, and rice fields in Asia were suffering due to relentless monsoons. But the biggest loser in this global grain game were the Soviets. Hit by a one-two punch of bad weather and even wor...
Morgan Spurlock: Super Size Me Lies
มุมมอง 1.1K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
They say some lies are to be taken to the grave. Were those the sentiments of filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, who recently passed due to cancer at just 53 years old? While many have him to thank for making them reconsider their choice of grub and even providing unforgettable entertainment, our friends at McDonald’s may feel a little differently. Back in 2004, director Morgan Spurlock turned heads an...
Mall Restaurants You Once Loved But No Longer Exist
มุมมอง 10Kหลายเดือนก่อน
Back in the 1950s, shopping malls started popping up everywhere and quickly became the heartbeat of American consumer culture. Malls turned into the town square for many places, they were the go-to spots for families and, let’s not forget, the ultimate hangout for American teens. By the time the 70s and 80s rolled around, malls were at their peak. Movies like "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" capt...

The Thirst Quenching History of Dr Pepper

Pop open the soda scene, and there's one drink that always pops out…Dr Pepper… Unlike the usual cola or root beer, Dr Pepper is its own thing, a "pepper soda."

    A reasonably priced, and with good food cafeteria back in the day would have seen many regular visits from me. Too bad for me, there simply weren't any cafeterias of any kind in my area during the years when I was regularly looking for meals out on a daily basis. Certainly, would have enjoyed that much more than the fast food I remember that I usually wound up with.
