Since *Coca* Cola got its name from one of
its ingredients, the coca leaf (raw material for
cocaine) and was made this way until I think the
mid 1950s (I knew someone who used to go down to
Mexico where some of the old stock was sold into
the 1970s), it certainly ought to taste a bit
different than the modern version.
