Slightly disappointed you didn't make some of this Vin Moriani. lol

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! 🇨🇴❤️

Ok, next time I visit Frankfurt, I'll try some wine too

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.

Appreciate you not shying away from a subject that the youtube algorithm hates. It's depressing how few people actually browse their subscription feed.

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.

Wow, I didn't know all of that, energy drinks, influencer marketing and ad collecting was this old!

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 ❤️❤️❤️

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.

This was a good one. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward for the trend to come back.

Super interesting, loved the vid!

This is such a well-researched video! Excellent work as always, Andong ^____^

Gotta love how the french farmacist has an italian name and is from corsica

Amazing story + storytelling!

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

Brilliant storytelling!

I love your videos!

great video, thansk andong

What an interesting video again😊

Holy dang! This was just a great wild ride and super interesting story about the history of mixed beverages of questionable healthy qualities.

Buckfast in England is a great tonic wine

Hi Andong, how do you get magic spoon in Germany? Its not a shipping option.

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

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!

My word. People were getting hardcore face melted back in the day. Peeky blinders was mild 😅

Your British audience is almost certainly familiar with tonic wine thanks to the monks of the Buckfast Abbey.

This was extremely interesting. A small correction, though .. cocaine has not been banned in the USA, but is a controlled substance.

The OG 4 loko

The 19th century was wild.

It's good to see that even the original energy drink relied on sugar to mask the other flavours XD

Wooo for coca ,coca for the win let's go coca

I...just want a sip

Waiting for the recipe 🤣🤣

Bro was bringt ein Sponsor von dem ich hier in Deutschland nicht bestelllen kann?

Поздравляю!

How did you order Magic Spoon to Berlin/Germany? They just sell to the US, Canada and UK..

You could've come to south america and use dried coca leaves to make ir😂

so no recipe this time?

The funny mustache man was right 🙋‍♂️

Fourloko was around for a while it seems

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!

So… it was extra cocainey? I bet they never shut up 😂

Can't help but think, "I'm dr rockso the rock n roll clown. I do cocaine."

you are the Mina Le of food.

😊

Damnn Teach me how to make cocaine tonic

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

"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!

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.

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.

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...

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

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. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MUQ1fZYHt3k.html
