Çatalhöyük is noteworthy because it is one of the first human proto-cities to have been built. Full of densely packed mud brick houses covered in paintings and symbolic decorations, its population hovered around 8,000.

So it’s penicillin now.
Ha. Old urban legend was that Twinkies would last forever. Then that was disproven.
I saw a documentary on world’s fairs that showed Wonder Bread being introduced. People must have been in total jaw dropping awe.
Quick, someone ping Steve1989.

Maybe that’s what Pelosi baked when she took Home Economics class in high school.
We had an outlet near us when my kids were little...Wonder and Twinkies were always on the list.
