Coca-cola was first created in the late 1800s by John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia. At this time in history, cocaine was a popular recreational drug and could be found in many different products at one time or another. One of these products was Coca-Cola.

Initially, Coca-Cola did contain cocaine. This was a selling point for the product, as people believed it would give them energy like caffeine does now. However, by 1903, all traces of cocaine had been removed from Coca-Cola and replaced with another substance called 'Merchandise 7X'.

Merchandise 7X is a mixture of coca leaves, alcohol, and lime. It does not contain any cocaine and is safe to consume. Coca-Cola has not contained cocaine since 1903, and there are no plans to add it back into the recipe. The decision to remove cocaine from Coca-Cola was made for health and marketing reasons.

Today, Coca-Cola is one of the most popular soft drinks globally. It is sold in more than 200 countries and made by The Coca-Cola Company, its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.
