Question

MY FREIND TOL ME DAT CRACK WAZ IN COCA COLA IN THE 80'S IZ THAT TRUE?

Answer 1

A “pinch of coca leaves” was included in John Styth Pemberton's original 1886 recipe for Coca-Cola, though the company began using decocainized leaves in 1906 when the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed. The only known measure of the amount of cocaine in Coca-Cola was determined in 1902 as being as little as 1/400 of a grain (0.2 mg) per ounce of syrup (6 ppm)[citation needed]. The actual amount of cocaine that Coca-Cola contained during the first twenty years of its production is practically impossible to determine.

Answer 2

Not the 1980s. Coca Cola was first produced a little over 100 years ago. At that time it did contain cocain. In fact, many products did. It was an early type of "caffeine boost". It was even in some medicines to help with absorption into the body. (Sometimes alcohol is used now for same purpose.) But the cocaine used then wasn't well refined or very potent. It didn't have any more of an effect than caffeine, and that was the intention. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

No the cocaine was removed in 1903

It was formulated tsort of as a medicine to help as a tonic to give people a lift and get rid of headaches. Instead People got addicted to coke.

During the time when the research for the new formula was taking place, it was known as "The Bunker" (Oliver 53). The known ingredients in present day Coca-Cola are water. caffeine, phosphoric acid, vanilla, various oils and essences and extracts of the coca leaf and the kola nut. The one in four hundred part of cocaine was removed from Coca-Cola in 1903(Demott 54). Five years after the infamous Coke fiasco, the Coca-Cola company tried to bring back the reformulated Coke.

Answer 4

That has not been true since before coca cola was even soda. Originally it was an "elixir". In those days it was made using an active coca leaf which can also be used to derive cocaine. No coke that could have ever been drank from a can with cocaine in it. Hope that answers your question.

Answer 5

The beverage became into named Coca-Cola because of fact, initially, the stimulant mixed in the beverage became into coca leaves from South united statesa., which the drug cocaine is derived from. besides, the drink became into flavored utilising kola nuts, additionally performing because of fact the beverage's source of caffeine. Pemberton pronounced as for 5 ozof coca leaf according to gallon of syrup, an significant dose, while, in 1891, Candler claimed his formulation (altered significantly from Pemberton's unique) contained basically a 10th of this quantity. Coca-Cola did as quickly as incorporate an predicted 9 milligrams of cocaine according to glass, yet in 1903 it became into bumped off. After 1904, Coca-Cola began utilising, fairly of unpolluted leaves, "spent" leaves - the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction technique with cocaine hint ranges left over at a molecular point. To today, Coca-Cola makes use of as a factor a non-narcotic coca leaf extract arranged at a Stepan business enterprise plant in Maywood, New Jersey. in america, Stepan business enterprise is the only production plant approved by potential of the federal government to import and technique the coca plant.

LOL Not in the 80's! It was in the original Coca Cola recipe. But it was changed in the early 1900's. . . .It would have been hilarious if they still allowed it all the way up to the 1980's!

Answer 7

I think its not (crack cocaine) that's bit harsh! They just put some chemicals that is addictive for a drink. Advertising & competition makes them do that.Cocaine I think is a very harmful & addictive as I've seen the drug addicts using it.But in Coca-cola its just a mild form but i don't know about cocaine that's in it.Full of sugars makes it addictive to drink.Maybe in the yr. of rock & roll but that coke is still here today, except they branded it as a diet coke just to confuse the buyers.

Answer 8

It did in the 1880's. By the 1970's was no longer put in the coca-cola product. It was long since removed from the drink by that time.

Answer 9

Cocaine was in coca cola back in the early 1900's. Products containing cocaine could be bought over the counter in drug stores.

Answer 10

Your friend is spreading innaccurate rumors.
The original formula for Coca-Cola contained coca;
an extract from the leaves, which make cocaine.
But that was back in the early part of 1900s.
Crack is a much later invention, & much deadlier.
