Coke was that bottle you shook to spray at your friends rather than snort.
My grandfather told me of a time when drinking a 6 pack of coke got you just as high as snorting it would....
Coke was that bottle you bought with your five best friends with the 12 pennies (10 cents for the soda, 2 cents for the bottle) collected among each other at the corner store and shared by wiping the top with your sleeve after taking a sip and passing it to the next guy.
Ok, I’m not sure how “good ol days” we’re talking here, but the snorting of the drug coke predates the drink by many years, with the pure chemical being discovered back in the 1850s, mainly used as an anesthetic. Hence where the drink got its name. Good try, just had to get a couple things straight first. I guess we should say, “Remember when we used to have our teeth pulled and were given coke to ease the pain?” :-)
