Which popular soft drink was invented by pharmacist John Pemberton?

SlyOne, yes cocaine came naturally from the coca leaf. It is estimated that there was about 9 milligrammes of cocaine per glass of coca cola. That's about one tenth of a "line".

Is it true that the original Coca Cola actually had Coke in the ingredients?

Nubianmom, I haven’t had a soda in years but when I did drink soda it was Coca Cola and would be again. When I was growing up and got the glass bottle out of the machine it was so cold it had ice dripping down the side of the bottle. Then they went to plastic and while it was still delicious it was nothing like the ice cold glass bottles.

Nubianmom, Have a Coke and a Smile!

Thank God for the Pure Food and Drug Act. Just another reason to revere President Theodore Roosevelt

I am not a number., Thank the Colombians

I knew Coca Cola was sold as a medicine but didn’t know the name of the person who had patented it. Now I do!

I didn't know that it was invented a day after my b-day even though it was invented nearly 80 years before I was born but I guess that the reason why I enjoy Coca-Cola products especially the ltd edition flavors

SlyOne, So I've always read or heard. That's why - it's alleged to be - so 'refreshing'.
