Sugar was the oil of its day. The more you tasted, the more you wanted.
In 1700 the average
Englishman consumed 4 pounds a year. In 1800 the
common man ate 18 pounds of sugar. In 1870 that same sweet-toothed bloke
was eating 47 pounds annually. Was he satisfied? Of course not! By 1900
he was up to 100 pounds a year. In that span of 30 years, world
production of cane and beet sugar exploded from 2.8 million tons a year
to 13 million plus. Today the average American consumes 77 pounds of
added sugar annually, or more than 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day. (read more)
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C'mon fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
Oh, I can't get enough
I'm hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet yeah
