Broken limbs! Amputations! Death! Shame!

Have you heard the news? Reprehensible practices involving orange peels have spread through British society, causing violence, injury, and ruined theatre outings everywhere you look. Join us as we travel back to the 18th and 19th centuries, documenting the truth about these harmful peels.

Take for your proof this statement from The Morning Post, London on April 19, 1821: “Not a day passes that various falls and accidents do not occur from the reprehensible practice of throwing orange upon the foot pavement.”

Who are we to argue with that?
