That’s surely not true for a number of reasons. The UK wasn’t a thing, and modern English wasn’t a thing. Beowulf has a fair bit of jokes in it, and that’s some 200 years earlier, in Old English, than this thing.
Hell, I’m pretty sure Plato’s Symposium starts out with a three word pun. That’s Greek and not English of course, but the idea of picking out an earliest joke is just ridiculous.
I remember watching some BBC documentary and they said that whenever a household for enough money that they started to buy appliances, the first one they bought was almost always a clothes washer.
I feel like very heavy people who are in marriages are often married to people who are into people who are heavier. I once saw an episode of My 600lb Life where the husband left the wife because she was losing weight and he wanted her to be as heavy as possible.
I had a popcorn kernel stuck in my throat for a week before an ENT doctor got it out (Saliva wont dissolve popcorn kernels ever apparently). She told me she knew a surgeon who believed popcorn was the worst food a person could eat because of what it does to the intestines. I asked the ENT doctor what food she thought was the worst - “Popcorn, definitely”.
I know 7 million is a lot, but, I’ve got a feeling it still wasn’t worth it.
Not to mention it’s around 800 mostly empty calories a day (at least based on the calories in the popcorn I eat). For me, that’s half the calories I need in a day to stay in deficit.
