Fact of the day

For their mouthwash, Romans used… WHAT?!

Image Source: Colgate

The ancient Romans have made several significant contributions to modern civilisation. But not all of their innovations lived to the present day… and we’re glad this particular one didn’t. Up until the 1700s, they used human urine as mouthwash to whiten their teeth. While it seemed repulsive, it was effective as urine contains ammonia which serves as a cleaning agent.

WORD OF THE DAY

Alias

A temporary name. For example, ‘She adopted an alias to remain anonymous.’ Pronounced as AY-LEE-UHS.

Quote of the day

‘What we once enjoyed and deeply loved we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes part of us.’

— Helen Keller
