they stopped putting cocaine in coca cola in 1930 or there abouts i believe. even before that there wasn't a great deal of coca leaf extract in it. Anyway, i don't like coke, it's too sugary sweet for my poor little tastebuds. If it's hot and sunny you want some nice cold lager, fresh from the fridge. lovely.

Coca Cola Tastes bad
Pepsi all the way, altough the taste difference is made purely because of psychology (sp?).

 

[Hitro]

Coke is allright.
But as Hamlet said, it should not be used to contaminate precious alcohol.

 

[Padma]

Studies over the years have shown that even rabid Coke/Pepsi fans cannot tell the difference in a blind taste test.

That said, I don't particularly care for colas anymore. I am more likely to go the route of 7-Up/Sprite/Sierra Mist any more, or even a Root Beer. Or, just as likely, a tall glass of iced tea. (UNsweetened! I'm not Southern. )

It used to have cocaine, but then they took it out about 80 years ago. It had great name recognition, so they kept it. And if you're sure that it has cocaine because you don't know all the ingredients, why don't you go mix up some Pepsi or something using the stuff listed on the can. There are reasons that the companies don't tell you how to make their drink, and it isn't necessarily because it's chock full of narcotics...

PhilliPe is insane, that's all there is to it. Ingredients are required by law. If they were lied about, someone would have leaked it and Coca Cola would be gone.

I could tell the difference in a blind test. There is a true difference to the flavor. I do believe 90%of people don't know it or can tell the difference even though they "hate one but love the other"... Pepsi is sweeter in a way, but not as syrupy, Coke has an aftertaste that I dislike. The aftertaste alone would tell me what I'm drinking.

 

[rjgo]

coke has a good aftertaste. and its better than pepsi.

 

[Kennelly]

Always Coca-Cola ( in a very swinging way)

 

[philippe]

me insane? they got a number system only 9 ingredients are missing and 3 og them are discovered.there are 6 hidden ingredients...

 

[floppa21]

A number system? Yes YOU ARE INSANE. I usually reserve this for Mikoyawn, but PhilliPe, you are a PIE.

Ingredients: Carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, and/or sugar, caramel color, phosphoric acid, cocaine, caffeine, citric acid and natural flavors.

Oh my god you're right. You're not a piehole AT ALL. Nope, not in the least. Serious. No really. I mean it.

I'd like to point out that when I say I drink coke that doesn't mean Coca-Cola. I do drink that but only at school. The best cola is Tesco brand!! It doesn't taste likes it's been watered-down by a fireman's hose!

All rule Tesco brand Cola!!!

P.S. Asda brand is good too
P.S.S. It's official Phillipe must be crazy!! Cocaine in Coca-Cola, you must be off your head Give me some proof from your anti-globalism, anti-American websites/phamplets that you got this nonsense from!!

 

[philippe]

from a scientific site:Coca-cola was introduced in 1886 as "a valuable brain-tonic and cure for all nervous afflictions". Coca-cola was promoted as a temperance drink "offering the virtues of coca without the vices of alcohol". The new beverage was invigorating and popular. Until 1903, a typical serving contained around 60mg of cocaine. Sold today, it still contains an extract of coca-leaves. The Coca-Cola Company imports eight tons from South America each year.

 

[philippe]

uhm yes i have to change my opinion....
this site proofs me wrong

[Padma]

To go along with that, philippe, here is a quote from snopes:

... the amount of ecgonine [an alkaloid in the coca leaf that could be synthesized to create cocaine] was infinitesimal: no more than one part in 50 million. In an entire year's supply of 25-odd million gallons of Coca-Cola syrup, Heath figured, there might be six-hundredths of an ounce of cocaine.

Note, this was for the year 1929, before they removed all cocaine from the product.

 

[philippe]

oh yes im sorry.i just thought i read it on a science site....
but hey look i saw my mistake and edited my error....
