Down to prohibition. For a time you couldn't legally sell alcohol so apple juice was sold under the name cider. Sometimes with handy instructions on how not to store it to avoid it fermenting into alcohol. Then, by the time restrictions were lifted, cider just meant apple juice as far as America was concerned.
(Allegedly)
Yep. Prohibition was also the reason for Americans to be so into fast cars.
Huh, how is that connected? I don't remember that in high school history.
Bootleggers trying to go fast is what gave birth to NASCAR.
No way
