Buy4fun, today there are no addictive ingredients in Coca-Cola. However, in the early days when Coke was first developed at a soda and ice cream joint next door to a corner pharmacy, Coke was produced using a flavored Cough Syrup that did contain a small amount of cocaine. This Cough Syrup was the only thing available at the shop with the flavor he desired. The young fellow who invented the drink had no idea that the drink would catch on to such an extent, and did not intend it to be addictive.
