This is bogus. How do you add 30 pounds sugar to 2.5 gallons of water - about 10 litres of water. Must have been published on 1 April - and this journo fell for it 30 years later.
do you know what the coca in coca cola stands or rather stood for? Cocaine! Yes! And I am not kidding! when this drink first came out in the 19th century cocaine was a legally allowed substance and it was added to this drink to give you a 'kick' if you know what i mean! another reason it was added was for its habit forming properties as once this drink became a habit for you the more and more you buy it! later in early 20th century cocaine was banned and they started using other legally allowed habit inducing cum stimulating substances such as Caffeine which till date every cola company insists is being added for 'taste' as it seems caffeine gives a special taste when added to cola but unofficially its well known its added as its habit forming! till date caffeine is added to colas as its not banned in most countries!
one more thing the original cola was actually a grape juice to which they added cocaine and a bit of coffee and chocolate along with sugar caffeine later they changed the formula to something else which doesnt taste anything like its today!

Its true. It.... adding habit forming drugs.. is still prevalent even in India. I have seen a few fresh juice vendors near colleges or such places add small amount of opium to juice so that thier customers do not divert to competition.
These drinks have many qualities inclduing harming your health and were originally based on mild narcotics.But because it is angrezi drink we will lie falt on ground and slurp it
That picture marked X is actually a pretty old one... Anyone with a serious interest in quizzing would know that... Some 5 or 6 years back you could come across this question in any quiz you attended down south...
I don't want to know the ingredients of Coke I and my friends have all grown up with it.No marriage in India was complete without the children discussing how many cokes each one has had and I still remember the small bottle of COKE which was a really BIG THING for us
