Coca Cola was NOT named after the cacoa plant that produces the beans for chocolate!.

I was named for the Coca plant that produces modern day cocaine!. Original Coca Cola had a trace amounts of cocaine in it, that gave its drinkers a lift!. Coke adds life! The coca plant also has a distinct flavor!.

When cocaine was prohibited in the early 1900's, it was replaced with caffeine to replicate the "lift"!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I decided to actually look this one up!. I was very interested in the results and I will share the first several lines and also leave the web address in case you would like to further your search!.


BIRTH OF A REFRESHING IDEA

Carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup to produce a drink that was at once "Delicious and Refreshing," a theme that continues to echo today wherever Coca-Cola is enjoyed!.

Thinking that "the two Cs would look well in advertising," Dr!. Pemberton's partner and bookkeeper, Frank M!. Robinson, suggested the name and penned the now famous trademark "Coca-Cola" in his unique script!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
