JAM!


Did you know …

That jam was invented in the 1940s as a way to get the most out of rationed food? It’s true! People would scrape bits of chewed but unswallowed fruit from their teeth and collect them in jars. Voila! Jam!

I have to say, though … I know there was a war on, but what were you people trying to be? Barbarians? You’re gross!

Jelly wouldn’t be invented until the 50s. I’m not sure exactly how it happened, but it had something to do with skin flakes.
