What a fabulous idea and so simple.
Probally 100's of years old.
Looked them up and found they have existed from between the 17th and 19th centuries, when they were quite common on the Rhine.
Today there are many across the world.

If a tomato is a fruit, does that mean ketchup is a smoothie? What if we mix in a tiny ad?
