Hey, did anyone else catch that Morning Edition story today about the connection between Freud and breakfast?
Apparently, before the 1920s, bacon and eggs weren't considered the standard, iconic breakfast they are today. Before then, it was toast and juice.
The reason why bacon and eggs are so ubiquitous today is because of Sigmund Freud's nephew, who used his uncle's theories to launch a career as a public relations expert -- including his first big contract, which happened to be for a bacon packer.
I'm not sure where to put this, but it interested the heck out of me.
I feel so *used*. |
