Well, this gives new meaning to the idea of Coke "Classic": Bolivian president Evo Morales has approved the production and sale of a soft drink called "Coca Colla," which, apart from being a familiar-looking dark soda with a red label, also contains an extract made from coca leaves, the raw ingredient used to manufacture cocaine. While the recipe for the original Coca-Cola is a famously guarded secret, the original recipe did contain coca extract. Coca-Cola stopped using a full coca extract in the soft drink in 1929, although the product supposedly still contains coca flavoring from which the stimulating aspects have been removed.
