Comments(8) | Tagged 7th grade science, cocaine, coke, grade science class, guesstimate, hasn, lettuce My daughter’s teacher told the class that she was allergic to cocaine and lettuce, and the REASON she knew about the cocaine was because Coke used in their recipe until it was determined to be dangerous. By my guesstimate, Coke hasn’t put cocaine in the mix since the 30’s maybe. Help me call out this lying b it ch!
I couldn’t agree more that it’s inappropriate for a teacher to mention, even to a 7th grade science class. All the more reason I wish to discredit her ridiculous lie.

1929 is when coke a cola became cocaine free but before that it was relatively little.
Totally inapropriate to tell children! Talk to the principle!
They never "really" stopped using coke in Coca Cola.
haha…that teacher has def used coke before to know she is alergic. Coca Cola stopped using cocaine in their recipe in the early 1900s, like 1903 or something.
Why would a teacher even bring that up? Even if Coke still used cocaine in thier recipe she should NOT be talking about it around kids, let alone at school!
in the 1960s when i was a kid
i remember
the newspaper talking about it
goodluck
The beverage was named Coca-Cola because, originally, the stimulant mixed in the beverage was coca leaves from South America, which the drug cocaine is derived from. In addition, the drink was flavored using kola nuts, also acting as the beverage’s source of caffeine. Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant dose, whereas, in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton’s original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed. After 1904, Coca-Cola started using, instead of fresh leaves, "spent" leaves – the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level. To this day, Coca-Cola uses as an ingredient a non-narcotic coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey. In the United States, Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant.
That literally puts the "coke" in Coca Cola!
I remember that, but i think that they did stop early 1900’s not sure what year though.
What a wing nut your daughters teacher is. Its scary as to what passes as a teacher now a days.
Coca-Cola is a cola (a type of carbonated soft drink) sold in stores, restaurants and vending machines in more than 200 countries. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company and is often referred to simply as Coke. Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by businessman Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft drink market throughout the 20th century.

The exact formula of Coca-Cola is a famous trade secret. The original copy of the formula is held in SunTrust Bank’s main vault in Atlanta. Its predecessor, the Trust Company, was the underwriter for the Coca-Cola Company’s initial public offering in 1919. A popular myth states that only two executives have access to the formula, with each executive having only half the formula. The truth is that while Coca-Cola does have a rule restricting access to only two executives, each knows the entire formula and others, in addition to the prescribed duo, have known the formulation process.
Hope this helps.
