Marx wrote in Das Kapitall about a young woman who died because of exhaustion. She drank a lot of wine to stay awake and have enough energy. I'm pretty sure he meant this beverage.
This was an amazing food and culture video. You never dissapoint me Andong. As a colombian, living in the country that produces most of the world's cocaine, it really sparkles a lot of curiosity on me to see how unregulated coca was more than a century ago. Even now we're still punished by the stigma of those who have consumed the product the most for literally more than a hundred years. Feels a little bit unfair, tbh. Even "How to sell drugs on internet" can mention Escobar, but we don't get much credit for anything else like our coffe and diversity. Coca leaves don't have a high concentration of Cocaine (the alcaline substance) on them. You need like 70 kilograms of leaves just to get a few miligrams for a personal dose. Plant wouldn't be worth as much if it wasn't illegal, so i guess cheap prices are the reason why Marian was able to get enough of it to have a relatively high concentration on the wine. No prohibition, poor undeveloped countries produce it... cheap prices. It is a very nutritious plant though. High on calcium and vitamins, and you can prepare an excelent tea using cinnamon sticks and piloncillo / panela as sweetener. (dark or black sugar used on boba tea works too). The beverage also reduces the sensation of not being able to breath propperly at high altitudes like the ones on the colombian páramos and coordilleras. If you can get your hands on it, save some for winter. It's worth it. Or come here and try it! The views at Nevado del Ruiz are something worth seeing with your own eyes in a lifetime. Saludos desde Colombia! 🇨🇴❤️
Cocaine isn't "banned" in the US, it's scheduled in Schedule 2 the most controlled group of drugs that can be used for medical uses. Cocaine is still used in local anesthetic medications and that is why it has been kept in Schedule 2.
yeah for some surgeries of the nose or mouth its still a good option because its both topical anesthetic and constricts blood vessels which staunches bleeding
Dude, honestly, so, I know my mom’s maiden is Corsican and that the “bloodline comes from there” sort of thing and this is by far the dopest thing out of a Corsican I’ve ever heard of and so up my alley that it’s wild. I recently experimented a tonic with the bark of a medicinal North American plant called red stem dogwood and I said the recipe I came up with had a taste very much like cocaine. Wild stuff I wish some of these at least the more moderate dilutions of coca were still legal and available in more countries I don’t really see how they can’t see past the same ill effects as some other drugs like coffee and tobacco.
If you're after more on this subject, check out Howard Markel's book “An Anatomy of Addiction: Sigmund Freud, William Halsted, and the Miracle Drug Cocaine”. The early Western history of cocaine is intimately connected with the history of medicine, science, colonialism, class, etc. etc.
Appreciate you not shying away from a subject that the youtube algorithm hates. It's depressing how few people actually browse their subscription feed.
coca cola is the most famous soda in almost every country in the world - would you want to look into inca kola from peru? maybe there's a story like asterix' resistance in case you would want to do so, my wife is peruvian and might be able to hook you up with a bottle (coming back to germany in 2 weeks) and maybe some stories growing up with this drink :D
First thing that comes to my mind when hearing the term "tonic wine" is Buckfast from Ireland. It has a ton of sugar and caffeine plus alcohol. Maybe you can check that one out... 😉
That was some impressive history story, just 1 thing around 2012 in my country the coca cola factory was the second of the most imported coca leafs after the pharmacy. Found your channel because searching how to make kebab, loving your kebab neon lights. Im subscribing keep up the good vids
your conclusion about modern day influencers fells flat: nowadays it's not a cool tonic wine, they advertise things like unserious breakfast cereals tasting like cardboard, with no nutritional value.
heya, so, I was born in yugoslavia, which, as ya'll probably don't know, was a wonderful communist country until soviet union fell, and yugoslavia suddenly became the largest communist country in europe, so america set it's sights on us, and destroyed us. but, I got to live my childhood in a system that actually put people before corporations, and as such, I got the opportunity to taste something that we used to call coca-cola, but which is now dubbed "comie cola" - man, coca cola sxs, I wish I could taste comie cola again. everyone agrees, everyone takes a sip of coca cola, and then goes on a rant about how coca cola used to taste much better, but, it wasn't coca cola back then, it was some communist concoction, made to imitate coca cola... everything communists did was superior...
My favorite send-up of influencers comes from 1891. The Duke and Duchess of Plaza-Toro explain to their embarrassed daughter about how they went from penury to wealthy in a mere 3 months after becoming a Limited Liability Company which funneled monies into their now overflowing pockets. ua-cam.com/video/MUQ1fZYHt3k/v-deo.html

Slightly disappointed you didn't make some of this Vin Moriani. lol
still working on sourcing a special ingredient
@@mynameisandong What could that be? 😲
@@gubbekatt8893 waste coca leaf from Atlanta or something
@@mynameisandong
Shouldn't be very difficult in Berlin, right?? 😉😄
I'd say görlitzer park but there's more cocaine in coca cola.@@mynameisandong

The "war on drugs", initiated by the US, has probably created more suffering than all drugs combined...
loved reading this comment, i appreciate your perspective :)
If it were not for the concrete heads in our respective governments, plants (ffs!) would never be illegal.
Ok, next time I visit Frankfurt, I'll try some wine too

When someone says "banned", they mean controlled, not for sale over the counter. The public is banned from recreational use.
so southpark didnt lie!

Also good is the history For God, Country and Coca-Cola, where I first heard of Vin Mariani.

He's done an entire mini series on Peru and Inca kola is one of my favourite parts of those videos, they're a couple years ago but do check em out
that sounds like an interesting drink to hear about
This story gets crazier the more you listen. Thanks for sharing!!
Gotta love how the french farmacist has an italian name and is from corsica
Any chance you would want to do a follow-up about Buckfast?
Wow! Amazing 😱😱😱 Educational, exciting, entertaining!!! One of the best video since ages around here ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, I didn't know all of that, energy drinks, influencer marketing and ad collecting was this old!
First thing that comes to my mind when hearing the term "tonic wine" is Buckfast from Ireland. It has a ton of sugar and caffeine plus alcohol. Maybe you can check that one out... 😉
This is such a well-researched video! Excellent work as always, Andong ^____^
Loved the video! Though I’d also love to see go deeper into the connection and emergence of modern day energy drinks.
Amazing story + storytelling!
Super interesting, loved the vid!
This was a good one. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward for the trend to come back.
Holy dang! This was just a great wild ride and super interesting story about the history of mixed beverages of questionable healthy qualities.
That was some impressive history story, just 1 thing around 2012 in my country the coca cola factory was the second of the most imported coca leafs after the pharmacy. Found your channel because searching how to make kebab, loving your kebab neon lights. Im subscribing keep up the good vids
Interesting! What's your country? :) Thanks for subscribing!
@@mynameisandong Belgium
Brilliant storytelling!
Buckfast in England is a great tonic wine
Great start of my morning! I can't drink highly caffeinated drinks for medical reasons, but a glasses of cocaine wine sounds good to me!
This was extremely interesting. A small correction, though .. cocaine has not been banned in the USA, but is a controlled substance.
Looking awfully energetic in this one Andong
This dude was amazing. Viva La coca!
I love your videos!
The 19th century was wild.
My word. People were getting hardcore face melted back in the day. Peeky blinders was mild 😅
Wooo for coca ,coca for the win let's go coca
Bro was bringt ein Sponsor von dem ich hier in Deutschland nicht bestelllen kann?
Your British audience is almost certainly familiar with tonic wine thanks to the monks of the Buckfast Abbey.
Hi Andong, how do you get magic spoon in Germany? Its not a shipping option.
The OG 4 loko
great video, thansk andong
What an interesting video again😊
Waiting for the recipe 🤣🤣
It's good to see that even the original energy drink relied on sugar to mask the other flavours XD
You could've come to south america and use dried coca leaves to make ir😂
you are the Mina Le of food.
I...just want a sip
Поздравляю!
so no recipe this time?
The funny mustache man was right 🙋♂️
Damnn
Teach me how to make cocaine tonic
So… it was extra cocainey? I bet they never shut up 😂
How did you order Magic Spoon to Berlin/Germany? They just sell to the US, Canada and UK..
magic
Fourloko was around for a while it seems
Can't help but think, "I'm dr rockso the rock n roll clown. I do cocaine."
Aw man and here I was hoping we'd get to a recipe xD
You could have at least linked your knock-off coke recipe!
Where is the part when you actually made it :D
I'm sure we can fix this world if only we can get the coke back in coke
your conclusion about modern day influencers fells flat: nowadays it's not a cool tonic wine, they advertise things like unserious breakfast cereals tasting like cardboard, with no nutritional value.
Nothing beats eggs for breakfast!
😂😂😂 I see what you‘ve did there.
"angelo is very good at making friends and connections", the inventor of cocaine-wine was fun at parties, you don't say...
😊
Good grief. Wine and cocaine together? And I thought Four Loko was bad!
To be fair, this isn't much different from Buckfast just far more extreme.
So.... when u making a copycat recipe? We demand cocaine-caffeinated wine. For historical purposes ofc ofc.
not the energy drink
You need to heal up from your last knife fight before you got on camera.

Remove the prime can in the thumbnail. You didn't even mention it in the video??
