And here comes the destroyer of false rumors, to beat down another false statement! Snopes.com, THE source for whether something is true or not, states:
". . . at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green. The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product . . . Coke has at times been bottled in green glass bottles, which perhaps explains the popularity of this particular rumor."
Oh, and actually one of the main ingrediants of Coca Cola was Cocaine for a while hence the name "Coke."
However, this particular rumor is 100% true.
Coca-Cola didn't become completely cocaine-free until 1929.
