This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

In 1964, Fox was hired by the Coca-Cola Company as a route supervisor and drove a delivery truck. After nine years, he had risen to the top, serving as the President and Chief Executive of Coca-Cola Mexico

Wow are you kidding me, this just does not happen anymore.

It rarely happened then.

Yeah true enough but you do hear those stories once in a while. I can't imagine.

I remember going to one of his rallies when I was like 6 or 7 with my parents and remember it was a huge deal when he became president, people seemed happy about it. I'm curious to ask my parents now what it was.

Dude sounds scummy AF from that wiki page though.
