you got the cocaine, marilyn, but...

where's the cola?

by the way, the coca (cocaine) part was ruled illegal at least 70 years ago.

 
my resarch shows that cocaine was outlawed 97 years ago and was removed from coca cola 98 years ago.

i should have quoted dorothy ann from the magic schoolbus and said, "according to my research...".

 
ah, so the CC Bottling Company had their own little "seven percent solution." I wondered

what coca was, but thought it was a cacao derivative.
