Coca-Cola Part Two- Quite the Pep in Both of His Steps
Manage episode 446480553 series 3470887
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!
