What I find interesting is it being described as "crap" I thought that was a modern term

Theres no mention of when this happened, so perhaps it wasnt so long ago. Anybody remember Chocolate Chumps ?
Cant find anything about them on this new fangled interweb.

crap
"defecate" 1846 (v.), 1898 (n.), from one of a cluster of words generally applied to things cast off or discarded (e.g. "weeds growing among corn" (1425), "residue from renderings" (1490s), 18c. underworld slang for "money," and in Shropshire, "dregs of beer or ale"), all probably from M.E. crappe "grain that was trodden underfoot in a barn, chaff" (c.1440), from M.Fr. crape "siftings," from O.Fr. crappe, from M.L. crappa, crapinum "chaff." Sense of "rubbish, nonsense" also first recorded 1898

what an interesting artical, I have never heard of chocolate chumps before, and I thought that type of thing died out in Victorian England, it dos't say what happened to the purvayor, or what happened to the other kids who must have eaten the stuff??.
