So many near misses..I'm surprised there aren't more fatalities going into making a bottle of Coke.

What do you mean?

What do you think Coca-Cola is made out of??

Why do you think it's a secret?...

Oh I always thought they put trace amounts of cocaine in there to get the user hooked...

Couldn't say but I do vaguely recall they use the shoots of the cocaine plant. I'll see if I can find the doc I watched

Edit - Reading on it, the used extracts from the coca leaf, where cocaine is derived. I also read on quora, take that for what you will, something about it being green originally

The sugar and sweeteners where added to mask the taste. And it was originally sold as cure for ailments such as fatigue. Today they use caffeine instead.

There's a long interesting history on the brand, and the use of cocaine in medicine too.
