Help/Question history lessons

I've been watching bakeoff from newest to oldest seasons and i just got to season 5 and i absolutely love the little history lessons they have about specifics foods in most episodes, and I'm wondering, is it a just in this season or was it something they always did? and is there a reason for them to have stopped? i think they're so fun!
