Ashbourne in 1875. By 1902 Animal Crackers launches its first commercial cookie making changing cookies forever.

In 1815, Dr. Levi Spear Parmly, a New Orleans dentist, created the earliest iteration of the modern dental floss. It was a thin, waxen silk thread that he encouraged his patients to clean between their teeth. This thread was readily available everywhere because it was used in tailoring. Flossing is not only essential to your oral health but also your overall health...the same plaque that builds up on your teeth is the same that's in your heart!

It crossed oceans and landed in America by the 19th century. True Bavarian creams first appear in the U.S. in Boston Cooking School cookbooks but nowadays many people use instant pudding and custard mixes for a little shortcut.

Tomato-based vegetable soup originated in the southern Spanish region of Andalucia. Gazpacho is widely consumed in Spanish cuisine, usually during the summer months. Gazpacho soup day celebrates the fans of the British television show Red Dwarf and the significant event in the series that had a profound impact on one of its main characters, Arnold J. Rimmer. In the series, the Gazpacho Soup Incident took place on November 25, 2180, aboard the JMC mining ship Red Dwarf during its final voyage. Captain Frank Hollister invited Arnold J. Rimmer, the lowest-ranking crew member, to dine at the Captain's Table and enjoy a course of gazpacho soup. Unaware that gazpacho was traditionally served cold, Rimmer demanded the chef take it away and bring it back hot. The officers laughed at Rimmer's mistake, and he never ate at the Captain's Table again.
