a Beloved Beverage and their not so Great History in Mexico

If you search Mexico and Coca Cola, there’s no doubt you’ll be flooded with content about how much Mexicans love it, as well as the sky rocketing rates of diabetes in the country.  You might see the alarmin statistic that in Chiapas, Mexicans drink an average of 2.5 liters of coca cola, but of course, as with all these things, it is deeper. In this episode, Cristina tells Carmen about the corruption that led to Femsa Coca Cola's wealth in Mexico, as well as how they are leaving parts of Chiapas without water.Documentary mentioned: El Susto (the shock)If you have topic suggestions, feel free to email Historiasunknownpodcast@gmail.com or use the contact us form on the website https://www.historiasunknown.com/contact/Want ad free episodes? And the ocassioal bonus episode?
