Actually, cocaine was in the original Coka-Cola. How much is debatable but it was there.
There are thousands of sites that confirm the fact. I know there are also sites the dispute it but I tend to think it was there.

During the late 19th century, Coca-Cola was one of many popular coca-based drinks with purported medicinal properties and benefits to health; early marketing materials claimed that Coca-Cola alleviated headaches and acted as a "brain and nerve tonic".[4][5] Coca leaves were used in Coca-Cola's preparation; the small amount of cocaine they contained – along with caffeine originally sourced from kola nuts – provided the drink's "tonic" quality.[5] In 1903, cocaine was removed, leaving caffeine as the sole stimulant ingredient, and all medicinal claims were dropped.[4][5][6] Coca leaf extract, with the cocaine chemically removed, remains part of the formula as a flavoring.[7][8] By one account, the FDA still screens random samples of Coca-Cola syrup for the presence of cocaine.[9] The company will neither confirm nor deny that the current version of Coca-Cola contains coca leaf extract, deferring to the secret nature of the formula.[10][11]
