No Taste for Spying
? Let's say someone at school wanted to sell you the combination to another kid's locker, and you knew there was valuable stuff in there. Would you agree to the deal?
That's basically the question Pepsi employees faced when someone offered to sell them private documents from their biggest rival, Coca-Cola.
Instead of jumping at the chance to learn its rival's trade secrets, Pepsi notified Coca-Cola, which called in agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
As a result, three people have been arrested and charged with stealing secret information about Coca-Cola products, including a sample of a new drink still in the testing stage. One of the three suspects worked for Coca-Cola.
