And they probably don't need to! The Times has been digging in to this one for the past year, and they published their findings over the weekend.

Ever wonder where the snail tail comes from? According to the Smithsonian, it dates all the way back to the 1500s, when an Italian merchant used it to denote jugs of wine.
