By host Tom Ashbrook:
Rich Cohen’s grandfather, Ben, stood up out of the teeming masses of Brooklyn, New York and founded the company that makes Sweet’N Low – the sugar substitute in the little pink packets. He made millions and built a fortune.
When that fortune got passed on, Rich Cohen and all his wing of the family — mother, father, sister, brother — were cut completely out of the will. Disinherited – one hundred percent.
Now, Cohen — a writer for Rolling Stone — is telling the story, of his disinheritance and the dirty family laundry behind it, with a savage glee. Revenge is all he’s likely to ever get, and here it is.
Hear about sugar, Brooklyn, disinheritance and revenge – in the story of Sweet’N Low.
Guests:
Rich Cohen, author of “Sweet and Low.”
