How Did Ice Cream Conquer the World? 🌎🍦

🍦ICE CREAM WAS BANNED IN AMERICA?! 🇺🇸

Ketchup. You put it on your fries, your burgers, your eggs, your hot dogs. But here’s something you don’t know.

Ketchup wasn’t always made from tomatoes. In fact, for most of its history, it wasn’t made from tomatoes at all. It was a fermented fish paste from ancient China. A sticky, salty, fishy concoction that traveled across the world for 2,000 years before becoming the red bottle sitting in your refrigerator right now.

And tomatoes? They were once considered POISONOUS. In Europe, they were called “poison apples.” People believed that eating them would kill you. The wealthy refused to touch them.

Today, ketchup is the most consumed condiment on the planet. 97% of American households have a bottle in their fridge. McDonald’s uses over 100 million packets of ketchup every single day. And in 2023, the world consumed over 10 billion pounds of it.

In this 5-minute documentary from The Archive History, we uncover the hidden history of ice cream — from ancient China to Renaissance Italy, from George Washington to the ice cream cone, and the shocking truth about how America almost BANNED ice cream!
