The formula is secret, who's to say there still isn't some coke in it? However the person who said don't change the name because it confuses people is right..marketing. In the late 80's coors beer made a change to the color of there can. Because its main market was nonliterate minority they thought the new can was a differnt product and they lost there market share untill they switched back to the old can. Coke and Coka-Cola are world wide trademarks. An interesting side note when Pepsi put there signs up in Saudia Arabia they didn't realize that Pepsi ment Camel Piss in Arabic.

Because we all know the product by the name of Coca-Cola, and it would cause a loss of sales to change all the labeling and then trying to get people to go to this new brand that is the same thing.

Cocaine is still a by-product of Coca-Cola, according to the trivia pursuit game that I played the other day. In fact, they sell cocaine to the pharmaceutical companies.

A guess: Branding. Once the popularity of Coca-Cola was established, changing its name would have confused Coke loyalists.

It is actually still made with deactivated coca flavoring. Also, it doesn't make sense to change the name of one of the most recognizable brands in the world.

coca cola is not made by the cocaine plant, it is made by the coca plant (coco). usually any names ending in caine is made by the cocaine plant.

it is made from the coca leaf, so it still has a tiny bit of cocaine in it (less than 2 milligrams)
