The Coca Cola company put cocaine, a highly addictive chemical and illegal today, in their soda to basically force people to buy their product by making them chemically addicted to it. I'm not even sure why they are still in business after pulling a stunt like that.

Drinking Coke means you support their disgusting business practices.

Duncan, maybe go a little deeper than a surface-level historical dive into a subject before making a grand ethical claim about it.

I have no doubt there are several decent arguments to be had about why someone shouldn't purchase Coke products, but this is a particularly weak one.

You're pretending that Pepsi doesn't still put a highly addictive substance in their product.

Cocaine was legal at the time it was used in the drink, since it was believed to have medicinal purposes. It's content was significantly reduced in the early 1900s, and was completely eliminated by 1929.

I get people not wanting to drink Coke for different reasons, but this isn't it.

The reason to not buy coke is because of their water rights purchasing in extremely poor countries, basically leaving them to die. Im sure pepsi does it too

Cocaine does have medical purposes and is used medicinally to this day.

Just call about any doctor. I'm sure the cops will appreciate you outing those damned doctors for using cocaine as a topical anesthetic and not tell you to never call them again.

While you're at it rat them out for fentanyl, morphine, and opioids in general.

Stop the drug deal devil doctors!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine

Cocaine is now predominantly used for nasal and lacrimal duct surgery.


Cocaine hydrochloride (Goprelto), an ester local anesthetic, was approved for medical use in the United States in December 2017, and is indicated for the introduction of local anesthesia of the mucous membranes for diagnostic procedures and surgeries on or through the nasal cavities of adults.[25][2]Cocaine hydrochloride (Numbrino) was approved for medical use in the United States in January 2020.[26][3]

They actually still do use the coca plant, though it's unknown exactly how.

Its a weird triangle going on between Stepan company and the medical field and coca cola.

Stepan are the only company in the US licensed to import and process cocao. The cocaine goes for medical use and the leftover cocoa extract is all sold to coca cola.

Kinda interesting imo.

Coke tastes better either way. If Pepsi want my money, quit moral pandering and make a superior product.

Duncan, this is not why the coca cola company is bad. You do not understand this, nor do you understand history.

Pepsi makes Pepsi, so that's a good reason to side with Coke.
