It is, in fact, true... Coca-Cola contained cocaine in its early days, although it was a negligible amount. This page chronicles the history of Coca-Cola pretty well, where you'll find more information about how small amounts of cocaine made it into the soda, until the company was forced to start using "spent" coca leaves in its formula after public scrutiny.

Regardless, I'd take a Coke over a Pepsi any day. If not for Mountain Dew, I can't think of a Pepsi product I even drink. I go for the Diet versions of any soda, though, even though the evidence shows that I'm subjecting my nervous system to formaldehyde poisoning. As soon as they release caffeinated water, I'll stop =).

I would be thrilled with caffeinated water. I wonder why no one has done that?

Thanks for the link Buck. I could not quite remember what the story on that one was.

They actually do sell caffeinated water. It has no caffeinne taste even. Water Joe is the popular brand name and you can usually get some here. There are other brands available too sometimes.

Awesome, thanks for the link! When I have money again next month I'm ordering some.
