Description
In 1928, May Donoghue headed to a cafe in Paisley, Glasgow to catch up with a friend. They ordered a ginger float for May to enjoy, but after enjoying most of her drink she poured out the remains of a decomposing snail. After weeks of illness, she decided to fight her case - someone was responsible for the snail being in that bottle and she was going to make them (literally) pay. In a world with no laws protecting the consumer, she would make a change that all of us experience the effects of today.
