Chianto, first produced in 1952,

00:00:06,147 --> 00:00:08,280

is now mainly sold as a beverage.

00:00:12,464 --> 00:00:15,277

Over the years, it has been sold as a hair remover,

self-defence spray, hair restorer,

8

00:00:17,354 --> 00:00:20,401

and to farmers as a humane way of killing chickens,

00:00:20,426 --> 00:00:23,574

by putting it into the pigs' feed, and leaving the gate open.

By morning, not only were the chickens killed,

00:00:25,580 --> 00:00:27,420

but often plucked, too.
