Found an antique 1939 lime pop bottle in the stone fence, advertised as being Lithiated. Everything had lithium in it for a while, great for hangovers and mood swings, until they realized how toxic it was for the system.
Got me thinking. There was a time when Radium was the next big thing™. It was magical, glowed in the dark, and manufacturers rushed to put it in everything. It went into makeup, drinks, glassware, toothpaste, watch dials, etc. It was total quackery of course, but it took time for the lies to come to the surface, because there were profits to be made.
One of the biggest lawsuits in history, one that changed the courts and worker's rights forever, was that of the Radium Girls.
I am, of course, not drawing any parallels whatsoever with modern day ravenous adoption of something that is toted as magical while exploiting an untold number of people, causing an unknown amount of harm in the long run.
