Coke Cola was one of the few companies during WWII that didn't have rations on there ingredients helping it get a lead on Pepsi Cola, where you got your info i would double check to make sure its reliable
I enjoy listening to your podcasts while slaving away on my night shifts in England on my Ipod. Great work keep it up! I have listened to over 30 podcasts here so far and enjoy them all, I run the risk of being sacked due to me wearing a Ipod at work yet downloading and listening in is well worth the risk!
Any chance of a episode on the Hundred Year War in England?
I will download as ever.
