Originally containing cocaine along with kola nut flavoring
The 1800s recipe for carbonated cola sold under the enduring brand name of Coca-Cola did once contain small amounts of narcotic along with sugar as active ingredients. But that was several generations ago. Since the days of 6 oz. bottles, now there are cans in diverse volumes as well as plastic containers in many sizes. This photo to the southwest of Grand Rapids city center and less than 1/4 mile south of the zoo shows part of the paved biking/walking trail along the left side of the photo, as well as a bottling factory for portioning Coke and transporting it onward to places for final distribution.
