Park Life 71 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 The familiar-sounding name and packaging may rile the Atlanta-based soft drinks manufacturer, but Coca Colla could also cause groans in Washington. It is made from the coca leaf, a mild stimulant that wards off fatigue and hunger, and has been used in the Andes for thousands of years in cooking, medicine and religious rites. Coca is also the raw ingredient of cocaine, the powerful narcotic that is the primary target of the US-led "war on drugs". Bolivia tried to wipe out the leaf at Washington's behest. But that was before Evo Morales, an Aymara Indian and coca grower, was elected president, championing coca as a crop with legitimate uses." That's more like it. :grin: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/apr/14/coca-colla-real-thing-bolivia?INTCMP=ILCNETTXT3487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 iirc Coke actually used to contain cocaine and was marketed as a tonic in its early days....it was replaced it with caffeine. It'd live up to its marketing hype if it had coke in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
