Happy Thanksgiving!

This week we talk about the 20th century's craziest soft drink (developed by a meat packing company) and the transcontinental flight it inspired. Calbraith Rodgers became the first person to fly coast to coast when he landed in Pasadena, CA in December of 1911 with the Vin Fiz Flyer.
