Today we’re launching a new #SILCA social media segment called Crumb’s Facts! In this series, our Marketing Director shares a fun fact... and it goes a little like this: Did you know the term “souped up” originally comes from horse racing, not car modifications? Racehorses were once given injections of narcotics referred to as “the soup” in an attempt to make them run faster. If you want your bike to go faster, chain wax might also be considered a kind of “soup” in that sense! Finally, please remember: don’t eat or inject SILCA products.
