Sugar Cubes!
We all love sugar and those cute little cubes just add a little extra something special when we plop a few into our teacups. But where did they come from? Well surprise, surprise! The very first sugar cubes were created in the town of Dačice in the Czech Republic! In the summer of 1841, the wife of sugar manufacturer Jakub Krystof Rad cut her finger trying to shave off some sugar from a large loaf (the way sugar was produced then) to use in a meal. Immediately she told her husband to make smaller blocks of sugar that were uniform in size and easier to handle. Thus the sugar cube was born!!
...awesome? I think yes.
