Headline is misleading. Not only does the article provide no contextualizarion about the “coffee-swilling journalists” covering the trial, it also abruptly ends at the trial settlement and says very little about how Americans’ perspective on caffeine changed as a result, only that the test results made caffeine look good. A good read, for sure, but does little to describe how Americans - who were apparently drinking twice as much caffeine in Coca Cola then as now - came to love caffeine. If this had been an Atlas Obscura piece, I expect I would have come away with a feeling of fullness and satisfaction, like eating a well balanced meal. Instead I feel empty and unfulfilled...like drinking a can of soda.
