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.

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.
