I just found out that in the 1800s, ketchup was sold as medicine. Like actual prescription
medicine for diarrhea. People were buying bottles of tomato ketchup from their doctor thinking
it would cure their stomach problems. There was this one Ohio physician who made a fortune selling
ketchup pills. He called them tomato pills and charged people premium prices for compressed ketchup
tablets. The craziest part is thousands of people swore it worked.
They were popping ketchup pills like candy until the American Medical Association finally
stepped in and said yeah this is just tomatoes you idiots. Imagine going to your doctor today
and he prescribes you a bottle of Heinz. Wild times back then.
