great website... urban legends of coca cola
came across a great website to rot away my time... =) on popular urban legends..
here, they have a section dedicated to cokelores, listed out which are true stories, and which are true lies.. eg. the early coke, does it contain cocaine? True. tooth left in coke overnite will dissolve? False. is coke a spermicide? False. Coke was originally green? False. best of all, got facts to substantiate to convince you doubters... hehe...
also interesting as to why Coke is always brown...
"Brown also hides impurities in any given batch, something the backroom chemist who invented Coca-Cola in 1886 kept well in mind as he proceeded with his formulation. These days syrup producers and bottlers have no impurities to hide, but back in the "three copper kettles in somebody's basement" days, covering up what might have inadvertently dropped into the mix was a concern, and brown hid indiscretions remarkably well."
