Ah yes as we know people in the 19th century didn't purchase sweets like coca cola (1886) and Turkish delight (conflicting data but could go back to 1777, the Byzantine empire, or sefavid Persia but possibly earlier). Also as we know the concept of markets is a crazy new idea and we have absolutely no extensive written records of ancient civillians having markets where people would barter and trade goods.
