Irn-Bruโ€™s old slogan, โ€œMade in Scotland from Girders,โ€ is a testament to the drinkโ€™s 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.

has nothing on this.

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

I saw this 2021 article in boosted elsewhere. Women brewing beer demonised as witches. It seems plausible? It does smell slightly of the โ€œorigin of the word fuckโ€ nonsense viral emails from the 90โ€™s. The insertion of a broom* into the list of witch associated equipment seems tenuous; lots of jobs require you to sweep floors. Hereโ€™s the article:

theconversation.com/women-used

But whatโ€™s really interesting is that it seems mostly lifted from an article from 2018, that it boldly links to:

atlasobscura.com/articles/wome

I donโ€™t think youโ€™re 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.
