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!

This is the beginning of our epic series on the Coca-Cola Company! We will go back into the wild world of Patient Medicine with the secret formula's original creator John Pemberton. We get into John's rocky rise to prominence and the circumstances behind the initial creation of the world's most recognisable soda.

And then the shady business deals that shifted power from the Pembertons to a man named Asa Candler, the business man that turned a coca leaf infused nerve tonic into a household name.
