Random trivia of the day: Origin of the phrase, "On the Wagon" from phrases.org/uk (they're from the UK, ya know? they must know something)

'On the wagon' was coined in the USA around the turn of the 20th century. The phrase began as 'on the water-cart', migrated to 'on the water-wagon' and finally to 'on the wagon'.

The late 19th century saw the emergence of several temperance organisations, notably The Anti-Saloon League, founded in 1893 and The Woman's Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1874. These followed on from the work of The Abstinence Society which had encouraged millions of men to 'take the pledge'. The Pledge wasn't just a vague intention to avoid drink; it was a specific and absolute promise never to drink again and was taken very seriously:

"I promise to abstain from all intoxicating drinks except used medicinally and by order of a medical man, and to discountenance the cause and practice of intemperance.

Water wagons were a commonplace sight in US cities at the time. They didn't carry drinking water but were used to damp down dusty streets during dry weather. Those who had vowed to give up drink and were tempted to lapse said that they would drink from the water-cart rather than take strong drink.

The first reference to it that I've found in print is from Alice Caldwell Hegan's comic novel Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch, 1901:

I wanted to git him some whisky, but hoe shuck his head. "I'm on the water-cart."

What we're up to on Wednesday

Next on the true life adventures of Ceres Bakery:

Defying the will of her husband, Jennifer is running away with Tandoori Vegetables. We all saw it coming a long time ago, the way they looked at each other.

Penny, coming out of the coma and not remembering her past life as a mafia crime boss, is making the Asian Salad with Brown Rice with either Tofu or Chicken.

The Pizza, the strange Southern cousin who has battled addiction there whole life, is about to start new (again) and is Garden Tomatoes, Fresh Mozzarella, Spinach, Roasted Garlic, and Red Sauce.

Megan "Pickles" Stelzer is chasing her brother in Mexico, hoping to help him remember the night that he ran over their parents in the driveway so many years ago. Here special sandwiches may help. They are Roasted Chicken with Apricot Pecan Cream Cheese and Roasted Eggplant, Caramelized Onion, and Goat Cheese on a Wrap. Which one will lead to the truth? Only time will tell...

And soup, which sits in the corner all summer long, sulking, has joined a religious cult in a desperate act of self-improvement. Gazpacho and Coconut Red Lentil are their names and they have the audiences pity.
