I mean, you probably realize the company makes a massive profit on every single bottle of Cole they sell. So, just do the math—you tell me if there's cocaine in the Cole. 😁

Ugh, those huge multinationals... man, they basically get bulk discounts from the cartels because they buy in such insane quantities, you know?

And I bet you anything they’re getting ripped off with some old, low-grade stuff too...

which is probably how they end up poisoning us all anyway...

first grab a couple of 2L bottles; I'll DM you the instructions later.
keep it on the down-low though—this recipe is strictly off the record.😎

Well, you actually read it right—it's literally stated on their official website.

I bet they’re just serving us old, stale Coke anyway...

it's basically how they poison us slow and steady...

give me a break...😬 *bursts out laughing*

If it’s actually true that they named it after the coca plant and it originally contained coca leaves, it’s possible this happened back when regulations weren't as strict—meaning it wasn't so illegal that the ingredients were prohibitically expensive. Plus, they might have been talking about the leaf extract itself rather than pure cocaine. 🤔

I mean, surely someone isn't too lazy to just look up how the soda was created and where the name came from. You can find anything on Google.

I can't even deal with this. 😳 😁

The secret isn't just for Coke; nobody actually knows the recipe for Spam either. If they did, anyone could make it at home 😁.

Honestly, I'd rather not know what they're actually putting in there... 🙄

Honestly, I’d rather not even guess what kind of fillers they’re packing into those products. 🙄

Back in high school, my teacher took us on a field trip to a massive food processing plant near Chicago.
Ever since then, I haven't touched anything in a bag, any instant meals, or even store-bought deli meats... 😁
The only way I'll serve canned fish is if it's turned into a pâté for guests. 😁 😁

All that means is that when you buy cocaine in bulk, the price per gram drops way down compared to buying small amounts on the street. And the Coca-Cola company definitely buys in massive bulk. Like, huge. Of course they get a discount.

So, is there less cocaine in Diet Coke?

I'm just trying to figure out exactly what kind of nonsense they've been shoving down our throats... 🙄

Look, if they actually knew what was going into it... they wouldn't be eating it in the first place. 😁

So if it’s actually true that they named it after Coke and it originally had coca leaves in it, maybe it was back when things weren't such a huge deal... like, it wasn't illegal enough to be insanely expensive yet. Plus, you could be talking about the leaf itself, not some processed cocaine

I mean, surely someone isn't too lazy to actually look up how soda was invented and where the name came from. A little Google magic goes a long way.

I'm just not having it...

Thank God someone finally gets what I'm saying. I never even mentioned cocaine! It all just depends on whether you actually want to understand something or not...😕

Well, the history of Coca-Cola

Therefore, one must consider that until roughly 1905, the formula actually included cocaine extracts. Of course, we aren't quite so addicted to Coca-Cola today simply because of its cocaine content.

Olivia Flores said:We definitely aren't addicted to Coca-Cola just because it's got cocaine in it.

But who's actually guaranteeing that?! 😲 😁 😁 😁

I mean, I doubt there are tons of people who are truly addicted. Maybe it's more about the caffeine. People probably drink it mostly because it's everywhere and tastes good. I guess the constant craving comes from all that sugar and the fizz...😁

Look, she never actually claimed to be some master chemist—honestly, for the stuff you guys were bickering about, even high school chemistry knowledge is more than enough...

And let's be real, chemists have never gone around claiming they're experts in physiology either. 😉

Peter Taylor63 said:And who, exactly, is going to provide us with such a guarantee?! 😲 😁 😁 😁

I find myself doubting that there is actually a vast legion of people truly addicted to it. Perhaps they were more dependent on caffeine in their younger years. 😁 Most likely, they consume it simply because it’s readily available on every corner and possesses a pleasant flavor profile. If there is any compulsion to keep reaching for another, I suspect it stems from an excess of sugar and those effervescent bubbles...

It wasn't as if I suggested we were all hooked on cocaine 🙂

And you actually think reacting to complete nonsense counts as being a legal expert? Seriously? 😁

There is zero sugar in Diet Coke, which is something we have already covered about thirteen times in this thread... 🙂

Seriously, they need to pass a law banning this kind of Coke, then we won't have to deal with all these "unsolicited" posts anymore! 🙂
