Shortcide: What Could POSSIBLY Go Wrong?
About this episode
This episode explores bizarre true stories involving Pepsi's ownership of a navy and Australia's military campaign against emus.
In this episode of What Could Possibly Go Wrong?, we dive into two of history’s most bizarre true stories. First, we unpack how Pepsi, in a deal so strange it sounds made up, briefly became the owner of one of the largest navies in the world. Then we head to Australia, where the military launched a campaign against flocks of destructive emus and somehow came out looking like the underdog. It’s a story of corporate power, government miscalculation, and the kind of real-world chaos that proves history can be stranger, and funnier, than fiction.
