Episode notes

Fabiola received a cease and desist letter from Coca-Cola stating that her company had infringed on their trademark by selling a beer infused with Coca-leaf called Coca-Bear in Colombia. The letter demanded the removal of the product from the market within 10 days to avoid legal consequences.

Today on the show, we have two episodes from our daily podcast, The Indicator, about things we spend a lot of time thinking about this time of year: food and drink.

First up, we explore how changes in economic conditions led to one of the U.K.'s iconic (and affordable) staple foods becoming a luxury.

Then, the story of one Indigenous woman whose small business went head-to-head with Coca-Cola over a trademark dispute.
