"Editor" — deadly energy that "inspires" a hundred years ago

That Red Bull gives wings thanks to advertising everyone knows today. What inspires people earlier, before the advent of this energy? Of course, other energy! There were these drinks not yesterday, and even 100 years ago, and we want to tell you about the first that was patented and certified in the United States.

In our days taken cautiously read the part of energy drinks, clicked his tongue and a dubious shake of the head. Numerous E and unknown chemical compounds included in these beverages have very questionable benefits for the human body and that's an understatement.

Another thing is the energy drink "Raditor", presented in 1918 by brand Bailey Radium Laboratories in new Jersey, USA. The product consisted of only three simple component and no E and other flavor enhancers and colorants:

1. 1/3 distilled water. 2. 1/3 Of The Isotope Radium 226. 3. 1/3 Isotope Of Radium 228.

That is, in principle, that's all. Considering the last two components, it is not surprising that the drink was presented on the market under the significant slogan "Eternal sunshine!" and "Raise even the dead!"

At that time a charge of vivacity for the whole day as such of little interest, so the main purpose of this hellish cocktail was to increase potency in men. The drink is worth a lot, therefore, to assess its effect could only very wealthy people.

One of these rich men, indifferent to his men's health, was Eben Byers. Millionaire, handsome, professional golfer and the storm women were a lover of innovation and carefully monitored in the food and pharmaceutical innovations. Not pass him by and "Editor", whose creators promised vigor, enthusiasm, and iron potency. IBAN was heir to Alexander Bayers, steel magnate, so the price of the drink it is not bogey.Most likely, the creators of energy does not lie, how else to explain the fact that Byers was a faithful fan of "Radithor". Playboy and athlete managed to drink one and a half thousand bottles of radium isotope until he noticed some sort of a trick. In 1932 a perennial consumer of the drink died a painful death from the thinning of the skull bones.

They buried Ibana Buyers in a lead coffin, as the radiation from it could turn the cemetery into the exclusion zone for several centuries. After this event, Bailey Radium Laboratories ceased production of its "explosive energy" and closed. The exact number of victims of the world's first certified energy remains unknown.

I can disappoint you that it is possible to irradiate not only from dubious energy drink, but also from conventional TV. So you better read books, drink milk and stay away from questionable novelties.
