Coca-Cola Classic


AMOUNT OF CAFFEINE IN COCA-COLA CLASSIC
A 12 ounce can of Coca-Cola Classic contains 34.5 milligrams of caffeine.

Coca cola could be considered the earliest "energy drink" - although not marketed as such - it was one of the first carbonated drinks to contain caffeine.

The drink was first made in 1886 - where it supposedly had a very small level of cocaine in it - due to the extract of coca leaf being an ingredient. However, given that the formula has always remained secret - this may simply be an embellishment.

The Diet Coke range actually contain about 40% more caffeine per fluid ounce than the standard coke formula.

Coca-cola Blak has the largest amount of caffeine of any coca-cola drink.

INGREDIENTS IN COCA-COLA CLASSIC
Carbonated Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Caramel Color, Phosphoric Acid, Natural Flavors, Caffeine. What exactly is in those "flavors" is a closely guarded secret - called "Merchandise 7X".
