>> I came home and got on the phone and called the corporate office----not the 800 number but the corporate. This is what I was told --------that the idea that coca cola had cocaine in it was a rumor that was started in the early days of coca-cola but was never true.

It most certainly WAS true. At one point it contained small quantities of cocaine merely to protect the brand. Early in its existence Coke was marketed as a medicine, and many of those "patent medicines" of the day contained cocaine.
