The Coke Machine: The Dirty Truth Behind the World's Favorite Soft Drink Audiobook

" 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. "

" While I usually enjoy a good corporation bashing, this book fell short of my expectations. I did find some of the information enlightening. I have not followed the sordid history of Coca-Cola. I was unaware of the alleged links to paramilitary groups in Colombia or the water shortages in India. I recall the uproar over the bottled tap water fiasco, but did not realize the problems in England. Even with all of this interesting material, the book was incredibly boring. I actually forced myself to finish it, and I was very happy to find the book was over on page 291, even though the book technically has 375 pages. "

" 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. "

" An interesting look at the inside operations of such a classic brand. "

" 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 is an interesting tell-all book about the criminal, ethical, health, labor, environmental, etc. reasons to not consume Coke products. "

" Just another large corporation looking out for profits, with no concern for anything else. "

" You'll never look at Coke the same way again. "

" 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! "

" 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. "

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

" Interesting read, not the squeaky clean corporate image their advertisements would have you believe. Might haft to switch to tea. "
