"Any problem anyone had with American society, the Anti-Saloon League had an answer to, and it had to do with getting rid of alcohol." [4:00]
"During Prohibition, you didn't have access to alcohol if you wanted to do illegal mixology projects, so I think soda fountains took that in a really unique and nice direction." [21:00]
