From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Mickey Slim[edit]

Mickey Slim is a notorious cocktail that was popular during the mid-20th century. It is known for its unique ingredient, DDT, which is a harmful pesticide. The drink was named after Mickey Finn, a Chicago bartender who was infamous for drugging his customers' drinks.

History[edit]

The Mickey Slim cocktail originated in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. It was commonly served in bars and clubs, particularly in the Midwest. The drink was named after Mickey Finn, a Chicago bartender who was known for drugging his customers' drinks in the early 20th century. The "Slim" part of the name is believed to have been derived from the slimming effects of DDT, which was a common ingredient in the cocktail.

Ingredients[edit]

The main ingredient in a Mickey Slim cocktail is DDT, a pesticide that was widely used during the mid-20th century. DDT was banned in the United States in 1972 due to its harmful effects on the environment and human health. Other ingredients in the cocktail include gin and a dash of bitters.

Effects[edit]

Consuming a Mickey Slim cocktail could lead to a variety of health problems due to the presence of DDT. These include nausea, vomiting, tremors, seizures, and in severe cases, death. Despite these risks, the cocktail remained popular until the ban of DDT in the 1970s.

Legacy[edit]

The Mickey Slim cocktail is a reminder of a time when the dangers of certain chemicals were not fully understood. Today, it serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of understanding the ingredients in our food and drink.
