People love 'ancient Greece mad honey' stories. Some are real-ish, some are mangled internet myths. What's the responsible way to talk about this?

Most history on the internet is fan fiction with confidence.

True. But there are historical references to 'mad honey' incidents in the region. The problem is how the internet turns that into marketing.

Also people jump from 'a story existed' to 'same exact product today.' That leap is sloppy.

And it shifts focus away from Nepal's cultural reality into Western myth marketing.
