There were hospitalizations, full-frontal nudity, and many, many cups of too-affordable beer. The fighting, which broke out during a game between the Cleveland Indians (now known as the Cleveland Guardians) and the Texas Rangers on June 4, 1974, has become the stuff of legend.

The world’s love affair with icy delights is centuries old. The earliest evidence of frozen dessert can be traced back to ancient China, where people consumed ice flavored with various syrups and extracts. During China’s Tang period (which lasted from the early 600s to early 900s A.D.) the original purveyors of pseudo-ice cream heated buffalo, cow, and goat milk and fermented the stuff into a yogurt.

For the purists, this undoubtedly ruffles a few feathers, but does the average consumer really care as long as the wine itself still tastes good? If we pose the same question for another luxury market like high fashion, the answer is “probably not.

When I asked several hostesses why this was the case they all said the same thing: the pizza is due to the influence of the Italians on Croatia – after all, Marco Polo was
