Irn-Bruโs old slogan, โMade in Scotland from Girders,โ is a testament to the drinkโs inclusion of ammonium ferric citrate, a food additive containing iron hydroxide. The resulting flavor has been likened to a cream soda mixed with orange Life Savers and a hint of rust.
#70sDinnerParty has nothing on this.

I enjoyed the rerun...er...encore presentation of the Atlas Obscura podcast about Dude Chilling Park.

A small prefecture in Japan sells top tier Kosher Sake and attracts 10k Israeli tourists every year. Why? Itโs the home of Chiune Sugihara. He helped thousands of Jewish refugees escape to safety during WWII by granting โVisas for lifeโ through Japanese territories. Itโs estimated that 100k descendants are here today because of his bravery. We canโt do this incredible story justice in a short post; but #AtlasObscura can.

I saw this 2021 article in #TheConversation boosted elsewhere. Women brewing beer demonised as witches. It seems plausible? It does smell slightly of the โorigin of the word fuckโ nonsense viral emails from the 90โs. The insertion of a broom* into the list of witch associated equipment seems tenuous; lots of jobs require you to sweep floors. Hereโs the article:
But whatโs really interesting is that it seems mostly lifted from an #AtlasObscura article from 2018, that it boldly links to:

I donโt think youโre meant to do that and publish it under your own name.
*The Atlas Obscura article explains the broom thing more clearly.

It is a pure joy to read such a detailed description of my workplace. This is an article from Atlas Obscura about Berliner Unterwelten, the organization I work for. I am one of the guides in the bunkers.
