Coca Cola was originally marketed as a patent medicine and did in it's early days contain minute traces of cocaine from the coco leaf used in it's manufacture. Once they discovered it could be harmful, their chemists went to work to eliminate it.

Sure did. When Coca Cola first came out it was sold in pharmacies as a medicine. Coca or Cocaine was the active ingredient.

No clue at all if this is an urban myth. But I have heard that the original formulation of that soft drink did contain some cocaine and that at one point drug dealers were buying up old cola dispensers to try to scrape out any of that drug that had been left in them. (that's the part that may really be a myth!)
Hmm. Ya think maybe someday in the future someone will ask if cigarettes really once had that poison nicotine in them?

definite it does. each and each 12 ounce can is composed of three oz. of cocaine. that's why maximum of tens of millions of human beings all over the realm die from ingesting coca cola each and each 12 months-the Cocaine in Coca Cola stops their heart and kills them. A 2 liter bottle of Coca Cola is composed of 15 oz. of cocaine. of direction international governments have not have been given any subject with this. Why do you think of maximum of crack heads drink coca cola so dam plenty?

Yes it did until they found out it was addictive, they have a special running on Discovery Channell about it this month, it's been on once, I'm sure it will be on again soon.

Yes, but very small amounts. My great grandfather said the buzz from it was about the same as the buzz from the caffeine now.

I personally think it did and still does, because if you drink Coke on a regular basis and go without one for about a week, don't you urge to have one?
