Corrected entry: Throughout the movie you can see macarons, which were not invented until 1792, a year before Marie Antoniette's death.

Corrected entry: In the scene when Marie is trying on shoes and eating all those desserts, she is seen giving her dog desserts. The desserts have chocolate in them, which would kill the dog.
Correction: While dark chocolate can be dangerous to dogs, the amount of chocolate needed per pound of body weight is significantly higher than what Marie feeds her dog. Usually, a dog who eats a lot of chocolate gets sick rather than dies.

Correction: Macarons have been around since the Middle Ages and were introduced into France in the 16th century (with the first written recipe appearing in the 17th century). "Larousse Gastronomique" (a 1938 cooking encyclopedia) cites the macaron was invented in 1791.
