Did you ever play the McDonald's Monopoly game hoping to win a dodge viper? French fries? Even a million dollars? Well, it turns out you never had a chance at much more than a free Big Mac.

This week we dive into the McDonald's Monopoly game and the fact that there were no legitimate winners! Who knew that the mafia would get into a fast food game? Our story starts with the Jerrys that corrupted the game and the unlikely duo of FBI agents that unraveled the mystery.

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!

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!
