      So in the past, people used to adulterate the sweets with plaster, different dusts, and stuff from the pharmacy. The price of sugar was too high, due to taxes and manufacturing prices. The pharmacy mixed up the arsenic with the normal adulterants for sweets. It was sold on Halloween in 1858, about 200 people were poisoned, but because it was similar to cholera, people at first didn't think it was the sweets till about a day later. It wasn't until 1860 an adulterant law was passed and 1878 a sugar tax was repealed that the adulterated sweets stopped.

    Humbugs are usually made from a mixture of sugar and glycerin (sometimes gum replaces glycerin) and a flavoring agent, such as peppermint oil, which is then heated in a pan until the sugar melts and becomes sticky. The mixture is then poured out, and stretched and folded many times. A little color is added to the mixture, and during the folding process the colored parts separate out in layers. The mixture is finally rolled into a long, thin cylinder and sliced, and the lozenges take on a stripped appearance.
    Joseph Neal probably followed a recipe similar to the one described above, except for one notable difference-he didn’t use pure, unadulterated sugar. Back in the 19th century, when this story takes place, sugar was an expensive commodity, so it was not uncommon for confectioners to replace some of the sugar with ‘daff’-powdered limestone and plaster of Paris-to keep the cost of production low. Daff didn’t add to the sweetness of the finished product, but it kept the bulk intact enabling sweet sellers to keep their prices high.
    On 30 October 1858, Joseph Neal sent one his employee, James Archer, to collect daff from his druggist Charles Hodgson, whose pharmacy was 3 miles away at Baildon Bridge in Shipley. On arriving, Neal’s assistant discovered that Hodgson was ill in bed. The shop was instead staffed by an inexperienced apprentice named William Goddard.
    On receiving Archer’s request for daff, Goddard nipped out back to check with Hodgson, and was told that the daff was “in a cask in a corner of the attic.” Goddard found the cask and dutifully scooped out 12 pounds of the white powder and handed it to Archer. Unfortunately, there was more than one cask in the corner, and one of them contained arsenic trioxide, a toxic chemical used to treat cancer, psoriasis and syphilis. Goddard chose the wrong cask, and since both daff and arsenic trioxide looked somewhat alike, neither Goddard nor Archer was aware of the deadly sale they just made.
    James Archer handed the lethal package to James Appleton, another one of Neal’s employee, who actually made the sweets. Appleton mixed all twelve pounds of arsenic trioxide with sugar and gum to create at least forty pounds of peppermint humbugs. Exposure to the poison caused Appleton to fall sick with vomiting and pain in his hands and arms for several days after. At the time, he merely presumed he had caught a stomach bug.
    However, Appleton did notice that the humbugs looked different, an observation that Hardaker shared when the finished product was brought to him. Hardaker popped one into his mouth, probably to see whether they tasted different, and promptly fell ill. Surprisingly, like Appleton, Hardaker put the blame for his sudden illness to something else that he had eaten.
    That night, Hardaker sold five pounds of the sweets. By the next morning, two local children, aged eight and 11, were dead.
    Initially, the deaths were attributed to cholera, a disease that was rampant in Europe. But when more and more people began to take ill, a police investigation began. Suspicion eventually fell upon Hardaker’s humbugs. A chemical analysis of the sweets revealed each contained enough poison to kill two grown men.
    Officers and bell ringers spent the next day and night rushing around the district trying to warn as many people as possible about the danger. The alert likely saved countless lives. However, by then already seven adults and 13 children were dead and at least two hundred others were seriously ill. The youngest child to die was just 17 months old.
    Charges were brought against Goddard, Neal and Hodgson, but all three were acquitted of manslaughter because the prosecution were unable to prove if any law had been broken. Hardaker returned to the confectionery business after recovering from his own illness.

    I wanted some mint humbugs last week, but they were out of stock.
    Disappointing.....
    Our family had a tour of a rock factory and watched them use a pulling machine. They then assembled the striped rock, very much like the humbugs were assembled, then stretched it out.
    However the resulting thin stripy rock was cut into sticks about a foot long, rather than the humbugs (which are cut into pieces about an inch long).
    To anyone who's not British, kids used to bring back sticks of rock for their friends whenever they had a holiday at the seaside. The rock had the name of the resort written through the middle.

    That rolling machine, while appearing dangerous, seems rather safe. The heated drums are spinning in opposite directions. Their supposed pinch-points are actually pushing instead of pulling, thats why the candy isn't being fed through the machine and instead is simply rolling atop. I'd say if your hand is caught, you were probably trying to make it that way.
