Reply to comment by Morall_tach in TIL that the narrative that Coca-Cola designed the modern Santa Claus as part of an advertising campaign is not true, because Coca-Cola did start using Santa in advertising in 1933. But Santa had been portrayed almost exclusively in red from the early 19th century by giuliomagnifico

Just gonna throw this in: reindeer love Amanita Muscaria mushrooms (the famous red one with white dots that smurfs live in?) and they get fuuuuucked up. That mushroom is so potent, Shamans in Scandinavia and Siberia would feed them to their deer, collect the urine, boil it down and drink it and also get fucked up. That's my flying reigndeer reference.

It's less about the strength and more that the deer filter out the good compounds while harmlessly absorbing some of the compounds that fuck up a human stomach pretty bad.

Ahh. Mushroom tummy, that sounds more accurate. Thanks for weighing in.
