coca cola(coke)

[Mikesmith165]

what are the ingredients in coke, not all that mumbo jumbo you see on the back, all big words mostly begining with p! what is the main ingredient?

[Romeo]

It's kept a company secret, supposedly, but it is well known that it is largely flavoured with vanilla.  Originally it really did contain extract from actual Kola nuts and coca leaves (therefore it contained cocaine).  These were withdrawn long ago but it still contains a small amount of caffeine to give a stimulant element.

The main ingredient?

Water.
