Cocaine worth $55.78 million USD has been discovered at a Coca-Cola plant in France, according to BBC News.

The drug arrived concealed in a container disguised as a delivery of orange juice concentrate from South America. The 370 kg seizure has been the largest illicit drug seizure on French soil. A federal investigation was immediately launched, and cleared employees of the plant of any wrongdoing. The original formula of Coca Cola, 1886, is believed to have contained traces of the leaves of the psychoactive coca plant.

Seems odd...

Coca-Cola is made with coca leaves... they extract the cocaine from the leaves before soaking the leaves in their beverage

Coca-Cola is the world's primary supplier of cocaine!  They sell it, not buy it

Maybe they got it cheap, and figured it was easier than extracting it themselves?

Good headline, I appreciated you exchanged the value in the article to represent it in BTC

Finally we know what we really drink, the original recipe was like that and the name and how we spell it says the rest.

For thousands of years cocaine was used freely by all the people who could get a hold of it. And now all of a sudden, like within the last 100 years easily, some people want to take away the freedom of other people by making cocaine a controlled substance.

They should make a form of Coca Cola that that has cocaine in it, and a form that does not. They should label them both so that we all know what we are buying. Then they should see which one sells the most.

Cocacola during its first year was actually a medicinal product which contains cocane used as painkiller until US goverment conciders it illegal. And thats when they began chaging its contents. This is its history as fas as i know a  person can just go and buy it on some pharmacy and ask for coke.

This is correct, coca leaves are not quite cocaine. You are actually closer to chocolate than cocaine in that regard on a biochemistry level.
