That's kind of like saying edibles don't have weed in them. While technically correct, it's dishonest.

- margalabargala 2y agoDisagree, it's like saying that jet fuel doesn't have plastic in it. They're both made from crude oil but they are totally different and do not contain one another. No one claims cocaine contains coca-cola.
- sdwr 2y agoCocaine is present in coca leaf. Coca-Cola is not present in coca leaf. Coca-Cola contained coca leaf contains cocaine (in small amounts?) Cocaine is made from coca leaf (which does not contain Coca-Cola)
- TimK65 2y agoCoca-Cola is still made with coca leaf, but today, it's decocainized. (And since it's impossible to remove 100% of the cocaine molecules from the coca leaf, Coca-Cola still contains extremely tiny trace amounts of cocaine.)
- radlad 2y ago> The coca leaf itself includes the active cocaine alkaloid which may be released through chewing or consumed in a powder-like form. From Wikipedia
- margalabargala 2y agoInteresting. I learned something new today :) thank you!
- bawolff 2y agoI think a better comparison is marketing orange juice as sugar free (because no sugar was added)
- mrguyorama 2y agoYou cannot market orange juice as sugar free. Only "No sugar added" "Sugar Free" is based entirely on the amount of sugar per serving size of finished product. It does not care where the sugar came from. Any product that contains less than 0.5 grams of sugar per serving can be labeled "Sugar Free". This has the fun outcome that tiny candies made entirely of sugar can be sold as "Sugar Free"
- bawolff 2y ago> You cannot market orange juice as sugar free. Only "No sugar added" Indeed, that was the point of the meraphor. By the same token it is wrong to say origi nal coca-cola was cocaine free.
