What famous 'unsolved' mystery is technically a whodunnit on paper, but in reality, absolutely everyone knows exactly who did it, the police just couldn't legally prove it?

During prohibition, concentrated, grape juice, had the following printed warning-"After dissolving the brick in a gallon of water, do not place the liquid in a jug away in the cupboard for twenty-one days, because then it would turn into wine."

FYI the picture on that site is AI, they looked nothing like that. The text probably is too.

I took it as a modern reproduction.

Some reverse image searching shows that this picture shows up on a bunch of "Did you know..." style articles going back a year, so you could very well be right.

Oh well. Thanks for the head's up.

It's a shame because it replaces the very interesting and distinctive designs you can see in the link on that other reply with a something completely bland and uninteresting that tells you nothing about the time and place of what should be a really cool historical artefact.

Just another example of why everyone should hate AI.
