The fascinating link between dairy obsession and revolution.

Greetings whisperbubblers!

Cuba is in the news these days, but that’s not why I chose this story for this month’s edition. Annie Rauwerda posted an item about it awhile ago on her fantastic Depths of Wikipedia Instagram page, which is a truly unique account: funny, fascinating, bizarre. She is diving deep into the weeds of Wikipedia and pulling up all kinds of strange and amusing threads, and if you like the kinds of stories I am posting here you will definitely want to follow her.

Anyway, my curiosity was piqued and I read about this story further on Wikipedia and Vice and other sources. It’s a good one, so enjoy.

If you liked this story, there is a lot of good reading out there about it and some of it will make your jaw drop - the perfect thing to do if you are sitting in front of a bowl of cookies n’ cream.
