Who knew originally Coca-Cola had cocaine in it?!


Question: Who knew originally Coca-Cola had cocaine in it!?
Myself like many others like the occasional glass of coke, I have always wondered what the flavor was!. Like Fanta is orange flavor, Lemonade / Solo, Lift are lemon flavored and so the list goes!. But I could never figure what Cokes flavor was!. So I did a bit of research, thinking maybe it was some sort of chocolate flavor from coco beans or something!. Only to find out that when originally produced back in the late 1800's it actually had Cocaine in it and was promoted as "a valuable brain-tonic and cure for all nervous afflictions"!. They used spent Coca leaves to extract the flavor and a typical serving of Coca Cola contained around 60mg of cocaine up until it became illegal, now they only use the flavor from the leaves - where the cocaine goes is anyones guess!.

What flavor would you consider Coke was!? And maybe you should ask your ma & pa again if they ever had cocaine!.!.!.he he he!.
