Coca-Cola Part Five- The Sparkle of Death!

  • Summary

  • This is the exciting final chapter in our Coca-Cola Story! We are getting into the Good stuff in this episode. Coke's fight with Pepsi is ongoing. Trying to combat the Pepsi Challenge, Coke decides to roll out a brand new soda to replace their flagship drink called New Coke. It was an absolute disaster and they were forced to quickly backtrack.

    Then we get into some very yeetable offenses. From violence against union organizers in Guatemala and Columbia, to depleting the water table in arid parts of India.

    Coke finally takes heat for its contribution to the obesity epidemic.

    We do our best to actually discourage the drinking of coke in this episode

    Enjoy!
