@the.history.shop.uk: 🦷 Why did rich people in Tudor England have BLACK teeth? In the 1590s, sugar was an expensive luxury that showed off your wealth. 🍬 The problem? Eating too much of it could lead to serious tooth decay. Blackened teeth weren't necessarily a beauty trend — they could be an unexpected sign that someone could afford the sweetest luxuries money could buy. 👑 Imagine being so rich that your rotten teeth revealed your status! 🤯 #TudorHistory #FoodHistory #WeirdHistory #ElizabethanEngland #HistoryFacts
