The trademark ed name is a contracted form of the Latin word wikt pabulum pabulum , meaning foodstuff , which had long been used in botany and medicine to refer to nutrition , or substances of which the nutritive elements are passively absorbed. The aspect of passivity had already given a negative connotation to metaphorical uses of the word pabulum , and the marketing of Pablum influenced the usage to refer to something bland, mushy, unappetizing, or infantile, and thus paradoxically with little worthwhile content.

She was the first person to swim across Lake Ontario and later swam the English Channel and Strait of Juan de Fuca . Swimming career On September 8, 1954, Bell started her swim across Lake Ontario from Youngstown, New York to Toronto at virtually the same time as world famous United States long distance swimmer, Florence Chadwick . The Canadian National Exhibition CNE in Toronto had offered Chadwick 10,000 to swim the lake as a publicity effort for the annual exhibition. Bell, who felt the offer snubbed Canadian swimmers, took on the challenge without pay. After several hours, Chadwick was forced to give up with stomach pains and vomiting, while 16 year old Bell completed the swim, the first person ever to swim the thirty two mile 52 km distance when she arrived in Toronto the next day. A third swimmer, Torontonian Winnie Roach, also attempted the swim at this time, but failed. Bell swam for 20 hours and 59 minutes under gruelling conditions before she finally reached a breakwater near the Boulevard Club, west of the CNE grounds. The planned route straight across the lake was 51.5 km 32 mi , but she actually had to swim much further because of strong winds and the lack of modern navigation equipment. Waves that day were almost 5 m high, up to 15 ft , water temperature was 21 C 65 F and lamprey eels were attacking her legs and arms. Bell kept up her strength with Pablum , corn syrup, and lemon juice with water, along with heroic encouragement from her boat crew and her coach, Gus Ryder. Radio stations broadcast hourly reports of her progress and rival newspapers published extra editions throughout the day. When she finally arrived at about 8 15 p.m., a crowd of 300,000 people gave her an emotional welcom ... more details
