Coca Cola Facts

December 17th, 2005

If you have received an email stating that the manufacturer of Coca Cola products will give you a free case of soda for forwarding that email to a list of people, the fact is that this message is untrue. Coke does not give away free products to induce people to spam others.

If you have ever heard the rumor that Coca Cola products once contained cocaine, this one is actually true. Research indicates that only trace amounts were used and of course, at the time the dangers of cocaine were unknown. Cocaine was not an illegal substance back then and was used in many feel-good “tonics,” which is what Coca Cola was originally meant to be.

Diet Coke actually has zero calories, despite myths that state otherwise. The FDA could not allow Coca Cola to continue marketing Diet Coke as calorie free/sugar free if it were not, due to the potential for serious health complications (especially for diabetics). On the other hand, regular Coke has 27 grams of sugar and 100 calories per 8 oz. serving.
