Trivia: In the famous scene where Chaplin eats a shoe, the shoe was made of licorice. Chaplin repeated the scene so many times that he was hospitalized for hyperglycemia.
Suggested correction: Chaplin wasn't hospitalized. He and Mack Swain did eat so much licorice in the many takes Chaplin took of the eating-the-boot scene that they both very much suffered from the laxative effects of licorice, i.e., severe diarrhea.
