That Time When Cocaine Was In EVERYTHING

Cocaine was once an ingredient in Coca Cola, and this has been a source of controversy for decades. In the late 19th century, the beverage contained a small amount of cocaine as a stimulant. Although the amount was small, it still had potential to be abused. This led to Coca Cola removing cocaine from its ingredients in 1903 and replacing it with caffeine. Since then, Coca Cola has been free of cocaine and is now one of the most popular drinks in the world.
