I hope that Coca Cola uses the artificial stuff. It would be a waste of good vanilla if it wasn't the case. I looked at the product sheet ov vanilla coke in France, where it is a legal obligation to list how much of the ingredients mentioned on the packaging are present, and vanilla isn't mentioned at all, only "vanilla flavor" (most likely artificial vanillin). So it is very likely that not a single pod is involved in the manufacturing of the drink. At least in France, and considering the price of vanilla, probably in the rest of the world as well. When considering exports, vanillin probably doesn't count since it is not vanilla.
