We are moving through the decades of the Coca-Cola company this episode. Starting at the beginning of the thirties and ending near the end of the 70's. Pepsi has finally entered the scene. We talk about a one sided rivalry that eventually turns into an actual competition. Pepsi is giving scrappy younger brother energy and Coke is ignoring them AS HARD AS THEY CAN.

We talk about secret government coca farms, Coke Going to War, Nazi Fanta, and the time that Robert Woodruff got his good Friend Dwight D. Eisenhower to run for president!

Enjoy!

We are back for another installment of the Coca-Cola Series! This week we are talking about Asa Candler, the man who took coke from a relative unknown to a nation spanning phenomenon.

We get into the elaborate measures Candler took to keep the recipe a secret, a bottling contact fiasco that he would regret for years, and the age-old question of whether it's a good idea to put cocaine in soda.

Enjoy!
