Historians have highly agreed that when Pemberton started his beverage,
it had a significant dose of cocaine (coca leaf extracts) and caffeine
(kola-nuts).
These raw materials gave the name for the product replacing
the’ K in Kola with a C’. A native South American plant, Coca can be
chemically filtered to extract doses of cocaine. Coca-Cola withdrew
cocaine after 1903. Still, there’re traces of minuscule cocaine
flavoring given that Coca-Cola is the only mentioned U.S firm to be
allowed to export coca leaves through the Stepan Company, a lab
specializing in cocaine-free coca leaf extracts and purifying cocaine
medicinally.(source)
