What about cocaine? The rumor has long had it that the very early version of Coke contained some, which was why it was so habit forming.

You have to add your own cocaine to it now. If you put in too much , your throat will become anesthetized and you will drown while taking the pause that refreshes. Or is that Pepsi?.

I only posted that way because that is the title as Fox printed it. The mods don’t appreciate it when I edit a title :(

Cocaine-flavored drink. I’d like to know the 20th Century Congressional idiots who banned it.
Give me back MUH CLASSIC COKE!!!

Remember the old Coke jingle?
“Have a coke and a smile”
You were smiling from the cocaine originally in it.

What about carbonation?
Anyway, formula or no formula Coca-Cola will never be what it once was.

Leave it to Fox to over dramatize things. This has been ‘discovered’ long ago.
And I find it hard to believe that someone can’t do the revere engineering thing on a can of coke.

Not sure if it an urban myth or not but I thought the recipe was kept in some sort of secret vault with armed guards and the whole bit. Corporations are serious about this stuff.. I wouldn’t want to be the one saying that I had the recipe. Just a thought.
