    Bottles on the Border: The History and Bottles of the Soft Drink Industry in El Paso, Texas, 1881-2000 © Bill Lockhart 2010 [Revised Edition – Originally Published Online in 2000] Chapter 5d Chapter 5d Later Empire Companies, Part II, and Duffy’s Draft Beverages Grapette Bottling Company (1941-1969) History Grapette was a relative latecomer to the El Paso bottling industry, although the company began shortly after franchises were first offered by the Grapette Company of Camden, Arkansas, in 1940. The founder of Grapette, Benjamin T. Fooks, originally opened a service station in Camden, Arkansas, but had left the business to begin a bottling plant by 1926. He expanded over the next few years and experimented with flavors including a grape drink. He purchased the registered trademarks, Grapette, Lemonette, and Orangette from Rube Goldstein in 1940 and officially began marketing Grapette in the Spring of that year as the B.T. Fooks Mfg. Co. In 1946, he renamed the business the Grapette Co. He sold the company in 1972 to the Rheingold Corp., a group that became the victim of a hostile takeover by PepsiCo in 1975. Pepsi sold the Grapette line to Monarch in 1977, and the brand was discontinued in the U.S. The drink is still available overseas in 1998 (Magnum 1998). The Grapette Bottling Co. opened its doors in El Paso in 1941, during the World War II sugar rationing period and survived until 1969. In its earliest days, Grapette actually bottled Seven-Up for A.L. Randle who then distributed the product from the Seven-Up Bottling Company next door.

  • Coca-Cola La Historia Negra De Las Aguas Negras
    Coca-Cola La historia negra de las aguas negras Gustavo Castro Soto CIEPAC COCA-COLA LA HISTORIA NEGRA DE LAS AGUAS NEGRAS (Primera Parte) La Compañía Coca-Cola y algunos de sus directivos, desde tiempo atrás, han sido acusados de estar involucrados en evasión de impuestos, fraudes, asesinatos, torturas, amenazas y chantajes a trabajadores, sindicalistas, gobiernos y empresas. Se les ha acusado también de aliarse incluso con ejércitos y grupos paramilitares en Sudamérica. Amnistía Internacional y otras organizaciones de Derechos Humanos a nivel mundial han seguido de cerca estos casos. Desde hace más de 100 años la Compañía Coca-Cola incide sobre la realidad de los campesinos e indígenas cañeros ya sea comprando o dejando de comprar azúcar de caña con el fin de sustituir el dulce por alta fructuosa proveniente del maíz transgénico de los Estados Unidos. Sí, los refrescos de la marca Coca-Cola son transgénicos así como cualquier industria que usa alta fructuosa. ¿Se ha fijado usted en los ingredientes que se especifican en los empaques de los productos industrializados? La Coca-Cola también ha incidido en la vida de los productores de coca; es responsable también de la falta de agua en algunos lugares o de los cambios en las políticas públicas para privatizar el vital líquido o quedarse con los mantos freáticos. Incide en la economía de muchos países; en la industria del vidrio y del plástico y en otros componentes de su fórmula. Además de la economía y la política, ha incidido directamente en trastocar las culturas, desde Chamula en Chiapas hasta Japón o China, pasando por Rusia.

  • La Coca-Cola En México: El Agua Tiembla (Décima Parte)
    LA COCA-COLA EN MÉXICO: EL AGUA TIEMBLA (DÉCIMA PARTE) GUSTAVO CASTRO SOTO Chiapas, México; 7 de enero de 2005 Las empresas transnacionales van escalando cada vez más en la dirección de la economía global. En el caso de la Coca-Cola Company llegó a la cúspide del poder en México cuando Vicente Fox arribó a la presidencia de la república en el año 2000, quien fuera su Gerente General tiempo atrás. Desde entonces las refresqueras obtienen más concesiones de agua, exenciones de impuestos, disminución de aranceles y de cuotas de importación. Si en el tiempo del presidente Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994) uno de los empresarios mexicanos más beneficiado fue Carlos Slim quien se quedó con la paraestatal Telmex y actualmente es el rico más rico de América Latina y el Caribe, en el presente sexenio una de las embotelladoras de la Coca-Cola en México, Coca-Cola Femsa con sede en Monterrey, es la embotelladora más grande de América Latina y el Caribe. Así, las transnacionales mexicanas como Femsa, Telmex, Maseca, Bimbo, Cemex, entre otras, no se distinguen de las transnacionales gringas, europeas o asiáticas. Todas explotan al país y a su gente en el que se encuentren. Por ello, en el Foro Social Mundial (FSM) y otros escenarios altermundistas continentales y regionales se retoma la campaña de boicot contra la Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola Company tiene más riqueza que muchos países de América latina, el Caribe o África. En México ha comprado casi todas las marcas de refrescos del país y tiene las mayores concesiones para la extracción del agua.
