The Rise and Fall of Cocaine Cola

[VersaillesinNY]

I came across an old Coke article that might interest some of you.

 

“By taking a brief look at its history as well as two of the skirmishes between Coca-Cola and Washington, the first in 1906 and the second in 2000, we can see how our country has changed in the last century.”

 

“[…] Government agents seized 40 barrels and 20 kegs of Coca-Cola syrup in Chattanooga and thus began a court case with legal maneuverings, charges and countercharges that would last almost a decade. The case was given the unintentionally comical name: "The United States vs. Forty Barrels and Twenty Kegs of Coca-Cola."”

There is a chapter on this in the Pendergrast book too.
