Oliver was an anti-obesity campaigner and author of a ""Practical Essay on the Use and Abuse of warm Bathing in Gluty Cases"". In more recent years, Oliver's efforts have been traduced by the introduction of a version of the biscuit with a plain chocolate coating. "Bath Chaps", the salted and smoked cheek and jawbones of the pig, takes its name from the city and is available from a stall in the daily covered market. Bath Ales brewery is located in Warmley and Abbey Ales are brewed in the city.
Pig Olympics Pig Olympics The Pig Olympics are for specially bred and trained piglets. The competition is organized by the Sport-Pig Federation, which claims over 100 members. Events within the competition include pig-racing (over an obstacle course), pig swimming (introduced at the 2006 Pig Olympics), and 'pigball' or 'swineball' which is much like football or soccer. The "pig-letes" in the games are not eaten, instead, they are bred for the next generation of piglet athletes. The 2005 Pig Olympics were held in China and the 2006 games were held in Moscow, Russia. The last Pig Olympics were in 2009 in St. Louis.
