“In 1915, Coca-Cola contained actual cocaine.”

Not really.

Coca Cola company says it never had cocaine in it, and most other sources say that in 1903/1904 Coca Cola was using “spent” coca leaves that only had trace amounts of cocaine left in them. So it was basically gone around 1903-1904.

However, back in the misty beginnings of Coca Cola in the late 1800’s, it likely did have a small dose of cocaine in every glass.
