Experts claim that the bog butter, which was buried more than ten feet below the mug, is 2,000 years old. In addition, archaeologists claim that if you were brave enough, you could taste the bog butter because it has probably kept its flavor and integrity throughout time. Fortunately, nobody has requested to spread this on their toast. The National Museum of Ireland currently houses this strange discovery.
