Glanmore Presents Historic Bad Ideas: 'The Edwardian Wonder Material'. A naturally occurring fiberous mineral. Strong and cheap, insulating and non-flammable.

Glanmore Presents, The Flea Circus (part 1). Flea Circuses have their roots in the late 1500's with watchmakes making miniatures with metalwork. However it wasn't until the 1820's that the first recorded Flea Circuses premiere. Often they would feature fleas attached to miniature vehicles like chariots.

Glanmore Presents Historic Bad Idea, Acidic Food and Pewter Plates. Lead poisoning is a slow accumulative process. One possible culprit, acidic foods reacting with lead in historic pewter plates. It is suggested that acidic foods could react with the material, drawing the lead out and into the food. *No tomatos were harmed in the making of this video*

Glanmore Presents Historic Questionable Ideas, Glass Gr***de Style Fire Extinguishers. These were either thrown by hand or mounted in a fashion to be dropped or broken when exposed to the heat of a fire. These were effective extinguishers filled with carbon tetrachloride (CTC). The issue is, that with repeated exposure or in as little as 15 minutes this chemical can have severe and even fatal effects. As if that weren't bad enough, when heated, CTC can produce phosgene gas - a chemical weapon used during WW1.

Glanmore Presents Victorian Bad Ideas, Victorian food colouring. Brightly-coloured confections and sweets were very desirable. Some recipes included red from sulphide of mercury, yellow from chromate of lead, and green from copper acetate.

Glanmore Presents Victorian Bad Ideas: Mustard?!? During the Victorian era some unscrupulous merchants would add Lead Chromate to mustard to give it a brighter colour while containing less actual mustard, therefore making it cheaper. Lead Chromate is the same material that's used in the paint of American school buses. Not a good food additive.

Glanmore Presents Victorian Era Bad Ideas - Hair Wash?!?! In the Victorian era a lot of hair washes contained significant amounts of Ammonia. It was thought to stimulate hair growth or perhaps remove unwanted hair. Many modern hair dyes contain some ammonia, but it is not a substance that should be used often on the scalp or skin as it can cause damage and hair loss.
