Coca-Cola used to contain actual cocaine. 🥤

Coca-Cola used to contain actual cocaine. 🥤 . . . Invented in 1886 by Atlanta pharmacist John Pemberton, the original formula packed about 9 mg of cocaine per glass alongside caffeine from kola nuts. The company only began removing the drug in 1903, under a mix of racial and social anxieties and regulatory pressure. The 'Coca' in the name is not decorative — it is a receipt.
