Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

228: Who Put the Coca in Coca-Cola?!
Q: Why did Coca-Cola continue to import Coca leaf despite prohibition?
They argued it was legally required to maintain the brand identity as Coca-Cola, secured a legal exemption in the UN Convention, and built a complex supply chain that allowed continued import/export through a sister company.
228: Who Put the Coca in Coca-Cola?!
Q: What is the flavor of Coca that Coca-Cola sought to preserve?
The flavor was tied to the Coca leaf and its alkaloids; Coca-Cola originally relied on Coca leaf flavoring, but over time the leaf was partially substituted or de-coconized, with some synthetic flavors and caffeine taking its place.
229: INPERSON: A New Kind of Happy Hour: MJOasis & Plant Medicine
Q: What are the biggest challenges in starting this business in Tampa?
The main challenge has been creating a blueprint for a novel format without a clear existing model, but the federal legality of the products provides a green light to innovate, educate, and build a new kind of social space around cannabis.
229: INPERSON: A New Kind of Happy Hour: MJOasis & Plant Medicine
Q: What was the origin story of MJOasis and what does the oasis mean to you?
The concept grew from observing how cannabis spaces in Amsterdam's coffee shops normalize and celebrate the plant, inspiring us to create a safe, stigma-free space in Tampa that educates guests on safe and responsible consumption while offering a unique, only-THC product experience.
230: Want S’more Mushrooms? Meet Mush-Melo
Q: What future ideas or flavors are you excited to explore for Mush-Melo?
We're exploring seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice in the fall and peppermint in winter, and expanding beyond marshmallows to other marshmallow-based products, with potential integration of supplements for targeted use cases like fitness enthusiasts.
