Happy #MadHatterDay! 🎩 Inspired by "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland."
DYK...the phrase "mad as a hatter" comes from the late 18th-early 19th centuries when haberdasheries used mercury nitrate. The exposure to this metal over time caused them to develop symptoms making people believe they were mad.
