- gibolt 5y agoCadbury, since 1824. Although it may have just been acquired or rebranded at that time.
- 0des 5y agoPretty sure my caveman ancestors cobbled together the first Jolly Ranchers, otherwise why would I think they're so delicious?
- flossmaster 5y agoJust thinking about Jolly Ranchers makes me want to floss my teeth.
- otherotherchris 5y agoSince the mid 90's I've been having trouble keeping up with which soft drink conglomerate or highly leveraged hedge fund owns Cadbury in any given week, and whether it's one of the bad ones that I'm supposed to be boycotting. Wikipedia says it was Mondelez International this morning, but who knows if that information became out of date while I was typing it...

- anikan_vader 5y ago>> He points to a study on a skull from a Homo rhodesiensis man who lived 350 000 years ago. He was closely related to our ancestors in Africa, says the zoologist. The skull was found in Zambia in 1921, and his teeth were not in good condition. More precisely, they were pretty rotten ... He probably didn’t pick between his teeth to remove food debris. Another theory is that he ate a lot of honey. Seems pretty relevant, after all! In fact, the thesis of the article seems to be that the agricultural revolution led to many more cavities, due to the increased availability of sugars. Indeed, the article suggests that the prevalence of cavities is tied with the availability of sugar to the population within a specific region.

- wyager 5y agoMost dogs and cats are on a super unnatural carb-heavy diet. (The same could be said about humans depending on your definition of "natural".)
- otherotherchris 5y ago>they're not eating a gallon of coke or a bucket of M&Ms Most cats and dogs are eating carbohydrate rich mass produced pet food made by a very familiar privately owned chocolate company.
- meowface 5y agoMany fruits are quite sugary, and some people probably lived in areas where they could consume fruits regularly. Also, as another commenter stated, non-sugar carbohydrates can also pose risks.
