Perfume balms and oils were first used by the ancient Egyptians. The Egyptians placed extreme emphasis on cleanliness, hygiene, beauty and fashion, as well as rituals and religious practices. Plants were one of the materials used in creating scented oils; rose and peppermint were two of these. This formed an unguent which was rubbed onto the skin - a very practical way of prolonging the scent's smell on the body. The Egyptians also used various...more
The apparel company Lacoste was founded in 1933 and is most famous for Lacoste Polo Shirts with the equally famous the crocodile emblem. In fact, they are one of the first companies to have their emblem appear on the outside of the clothing. The company was started by Rene Lacoste and Andre Gillier in Paris, France. They started production of their famed Lacoste Polo Shirts and soon ventured into other Lacoste Shirts such as golf and sailing tees. They became even more recognized when they ventured from their standard white tee shirts into colors and patterns. In 1952 the company crossed the Atlantic Ocean and began selling to the United States, in addition to Europe. They marketed themselves as an upper class brand for the competent sportsmen. In 1962 Bernard, son of Rene, took over management of the company. It was in this time that Lacoste Shirts and apparel saw even more growth, selling 300,000 garments annually. The company's success continued into the 1970's and 1980's becoming more or less the official "preppy" line of clothing. It was around this same time that the company expanded from the ever popular Lacoste Polo Shirts and began selling perfumes, colognes, leather...more

India Pale Ale did not get its origins in India nor did any Indian for that matter have anything directly to do with the brewing of this beer style. Back in the 1800s, British beer drinkers stationed in India found their beer stale or skunked whenever it reached their location. Imagine the distance that a bottle of beer would need to travel from Britain going around Africa across the vast Indian Ocean before reaching the pubs in Bombay and Calcutta. Not to mention the extreme temperature it has to endure while traveling and the kind of storage condition the tradesmen used. That and all, would only mean beer gone bad. No matter how beer-deprived those British soldiers and citizens were, they could not take the taste and so George Hodgson of Bow Brewery thought of brewing the pale ale into something stronger that its taste could survive the extremely long voyage and so he mixed an abundant amount of dry hops with increased level of alcohol. The taste indeed survived the distance traveled and the British community was ecstatic to receive the beer and enjoy drinking each bottle. The higher level of alcohol probably worked even more to the British soldiers as they could get...more
