The King of the Onions was a man who held the entire onion world hostage and made a fortune from his shady onion stockpiling of nine million onions, in warehouses in Chicago, and after flooding the market with ultracheap onions, caused many onion farmers to go bankrupt. Because of this, Eisenhower signed the Onion Futures Act in 1958, which makes it illegal to trade onion futures in America—the only agricultural product that is specifically outlawed.
What in the literal hell?
