The Prohibition era in the United States saw a surge in teetotalism, a movement advocating for the complete abstinence from alcohol. Theories abound regarding hidden meanings within popular culture of the time. One such theory suggests that Toto, Dorothy's dog in The Wizard of Oz, represented the teetotalers. While no definitive proof exists, some argue that Toto's presence and unwavering loyalty to Dorothy, could symbolize the teetotalers' steadfast dedication to banning alcohol. This remains a debated interpretation of the beloved classic.
