EP 16 - Jesus • Jail • Juvenile [ENGLISH]

Object Obscura

This episode is a little different - we’re talking about a Brazilian soda drink that was founded almost 100 years ago. The pink soda, called Guaraná Jesus, is named after the pharmacist who created it. Traveling from Belém to São Paulo, we’ll trek across Brazil to find the truth about this drink’s dark past and finally answer the question “why was Jesus put in Jail?”
