Our History

In the book "The Odyssey" by Homer, famed Odysseus travels to the Island of the Lotus Eaters. Here he sends a small sum of his crew to go investigate the island to study the island's inhabitants making sure they were friendly.
Turns out the Lotus Eater's were very kind, they even let these strangers eat their beloved Lotus leaves.
The Lotus leaf once eaten would cause you to forget about home and want to stay on the island forever.
But much to the crew members dismay, party pooper, Odysseus came to "kidnap" them from the beautiful island against their will, thus ending their stay at Lotus Eater's Island.

*This is a complete lie, the Lotus leaf actually does make you want to stay here forever.

**Side effects of the Lotus leaf may include nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea. Perfect use for that Pepto Bismol you thought you would never use on vacation! Other major side effects may include forgetfulness, full bladder, headache, and sometimes even death. Do not eat more than 2 Lotus leaves per hour, children under three should not eat Lotus leaves. Please consult island doctor if any serious problems should persist longer than one day.

***Also keep in mind if you need to take a number 2 and you can't make it, Lotus leaves make excellent toilet paper!
