"It's hard not to read this title and think that it is stating the obvious, but the details of just how badly this corporation are screwing everyone are still quite shocking. From killing workers who are fighting for a better wage in Columbia, to outright stealing water from poor farmers in India, to overt and relentless marketing to children in North America and Western Europe, this company this company is unbelievable in their dedication to the bottom line and to it's shareholders. Its efforts to "do good" are laughable, especially at the moment, with its pledge to donate 5 million over 5 years (a mere drop in the profit bucket) to polar bear conservation (an icon adopted to promote the brand, albeit a fuzzy CGI version) without actually addressing its contribution to the climate change that is causing the issue in the first place! Augh. And the worst part is, it's impossible to avoid drinking its products, especially since there have been a large number of acquisitions over the last couple of decades. It was a very good read and written by a very reputable journalist, so if you can keep your anger in check, then give it a go."

    " Didn't like the reader of this audiobook at all. I also knew a lot about the material discussed through much of the book, so I didn't learn much new. A disappointment! "

    " Okay, now I never want another Coke product ever again. This book won't gross you out (much), but it's the insensitivity and downright criminal actions of the Coca-Cola company that this book reveals that makes it very potent. You start off small, learning about the history of the product and its dubious chemical origins. Next, the book goes into their marketing strategies - which range from mild to insidious. Then you get a look at working conditions overseas in other Coke factories and it becomes horrifying and maddening. Read this book, you'll become more aware of how both advertising affects you and how much power Coca-Cola truly has in this world. YIKES. "

    " While it was slow in places and redundant in others, I got through it. Another one of those books where I felt that he has a vendetta against Coke, but was able to give actual reasons instead of just saying "they are bad news". "

    " The explanation and details about the Columbia murder gets a little long winded. I would have liked to have seen more emphasis toward the health risks associated with Coke. "

    " I picked this up hoping it would help convince me to quit Diet Coke. Unfortunately it was just pretty slanted and boring. "

    " Excellent and damning indictment of some of the more nefarious business practices used by the Coke company. This will change the way you think about this soft drink for a long time. "

    " You want a book that paints Coke as a dirty corporation. You probably won't find a better one. After you read this, every time you crack a coke you will feel just a slight tinge of guilt. Maybe ignorance is bliss??? "

    " Most of the corporate history is fairly common knowledge, but the union busting in Columbia using paramilitaries and the abuse of water access in India a la Fiji Water was all new to me. "

    " Not the most exciting of reads, but it is extremely normative and really changed my impression of the coca cola brand; sometimes for better and sometimes for the worse. Eye opening to their methods of advertising, creating, and distributing their product and it's effect on the community. "

    " This book not only makes me think twice about drinking coke but it totally makes me think about all kinds of big corporations out there. Not sure if I'm happy or sad about this. Why can't we just be honest. "
