It wasn't to make it fizzy, that's the job of the carbonated water.

A small amount of cocaine was added at first to give people a boost and was marketed as a medicinal drink.

Its to do with the sweeteners, lots of claims and counter claims about whether they are carginogens.  It is worh pointing out one of the ingredients in aspartamene (sp?) is arsenic .  Other problem is the human body has not evolved to digest this chemicals so gawd knows what it does to your innards?

Now real Ale on the other hand.....

PS. I am simply exercising my democratic right to free speech by going off thread

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!
