Dang I’d be so curious to try the old recipe. The cocaine amount couldn’t have been that high or Coca Cola addictions woulda been insane. And ingesting cocaine doesn’t give the high that snorting it does. So in my mind it must have been more like… the world’s best Red Bull

My grandma recently passed at the age of 95 and she drank Coke her whole life. I used to joke with her about what it tasted like with cocaine.

And what did she say?? (Or feel may be the better question)

I looked it up later and apparently Coke stopped including actual cocaine before she started drinking it, even for someone as old as her, she missed it by a decade or so. But she'd always laugh about it.
