I'd Like To Buy the World a Coke

Did you know that at the time Coca-Cola was invented, it actually contained cocaine?

"Until 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, contained extracts of cocaine as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut." And it was sold in neighborhood soda fountains, more like our modern day 7-11s. Free access to illegal drugs? Hollywood could have had a party. No wait, they actually are having a party. :s

Pepsi used to have a black propaganda before (and for obvious reasons it's not googable), medyo old school na. It talks about the bad effects of drugs. The last few lines are as follows: "Say No to Dope, Say No to Coke. A Public Service Reminder from Pepsi Bottlers Inc." =D
