Reply to TIL the original 1881 "Pinocchio" was a dark story that included the puppet's execution by hanging for his bad behavior (which included murdering Jiminy Cricket) by foodtower
Happy to have a copy of original. Think it was Carlo Collodi

Reply to comment by _bobby_tables_ in TIL that in 2020, researchers tried to determine the actual effects of ingesting George's Marvelous Medicine (from the Roald Dahl book), consisting of shampoo, anti-freeze, brown paint, floor polish, and 30 other household items. It would cause vomiting, kidney injury, convulsions, and likely death. by derstherower
fun fact: ingesting this concoction may also result in cancer if subject survives.
