A #BlueRiband winner in 1876, the #WhiteStarLine #OceanLiner #SSBritannic was launched on #ThisDayInHistory in 1874. Her single-screw propulsion was augmented with auxiliary sails in a four-masted barque configuration and her career on the #NorthAtlantic was nearly 30 years long.

Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband can't be called chocolate any more

'Nestle has reformulated Toffee Crisp and Blue Riband bars, reducing their cocoa and milk solid content below UK chocolate standards, leading to their reclassification as "encased in a smooth milk chocolate flavour coating." This change, driven by rising cocoa prices, reflects a broader industry trend known as "skimpflation," where companies adjust recipes to manage increased production costs. Similar adjustments have been made by other brands, such as McVitie's, which recently relabelled its Penguin and Club bars as "chocolate flavour."'

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1907, the British ocean liner #RMS #Mauretania set out on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic. She took the #BlueRiband on her way back and ranked as the fastest liner in the world for twenty years, a remarkable feat. She was also lovely, inside and out.
