In 1938, the Finnish authorities introduced a cardboard box to combat high infant mortality.
The cardboard box contained various remedies such as clothes, diapers and a mattress for the baby's first months, while the cardboard box itself could be used as a bed for the newborn so that they would not have to sleep with his parents or older siblings. Initially, the box was only reserved for low-income families, but from 1949 was offered to all pregnant women. The only requirement to get the cardboard box was that the woman should go to the doctor or the health service before the fourth month of pregnancy. To this day, Finnish women still get the choice between the cardboard box or a cash amount of approx. $ 160. Most people choose the cardboard box and its contents, which have varied over the years, but today, among other things, consists of a blanket, a mattress, clothes, books, toys, hygiene products, thermometer, condoms and diapers.

Little late for the condoms.
But seriously, that's a great idea! There were female Gladiators in Ancient Rome! A female gladiator was called a Gladiatrix, or Gladiatrices. They were extremely rare, unlike their male counterparts. And no, they did not fight each other in mud.

Ketchup was sold in the 1830s as medicine. In 1834, it was sold as a cure for an upset stomach by an Ohio physician named John Cook. It wasn’t popularized as a condiment until the late 19th century!
