Fat-ten-u

"I recently bought the book Food in the United States, 1820s-1890. I came across an ad for an interesting product that was sold in the late 1800s called Fat-ten-u. Check your calendars, it's not April fools day anymore; this is for real. Fat-ten-u was a dietary supplement guaranteed to "make the thin plump and rosy with honest fleshiness of form.""

The shop that time forgot

"“There’s a shop in a small village in rural Scotland which still sells boxes of goods marked with pre-decimal prices which may well have been placed there 80 years ago.

“This treasure trove of a hardware store sells new products too. But its shelves, exterior haven’t changed for years; its contents forgotten, dust-covered and unusual, branded with the names of companies long since out of business."

The End of the Beginning, Middle and End?

"The [myFry] app employs a "tagged colourwheel" which allows readers to explore the book in a non-linear fashion. Readers can find their way through the book in a choice of four colour-coded categories: people, subjects, feelings and Fryisms. So, for example, within the "people" section, one can search for everything in the book to do with actor Hugh Laurie, or within the "subjects" section, for everything to do with Fry's Cambridge years, or the TV series "Blackadder."’"
