There have been a few old bottles people drank on youtube but obviously those had degraded and wasn't like it would have been. L.A. Beast comes to mind.
I live in colombia. The coca-cola is exactly the same as the ones i drank in the US. Pretty sure they get the syrup from the US and just bottle it in the local companies using local water and sugar.
From the story I was told, my great great great grandfather tried it, when the original maker was going around looking for investors. He didn't like the taste, and didn't invest.

I’d hazard nobody alive has. Coca leaves were removed from the formula in 1903, bottling started in 1894.
Unless you mean doing a line and then drinking a Coca Cola?

Actually they're still part of the formula, I belive. They're just de-cocanized, they're allegedly still a flavoring agent
Dont they have "real" Coca Cola in some of the cocainey places like Colombia?

That’s what I found as well. It’s used as a flavoring agent still.

Regarding actual cocaine in Coca Cola, no. No where in the world produces Coke like that.

Easy to say in hindsight, actually he was very successful, which is why coke came to him for money.

I don't like any carbonated drinks personally lol. Feels bad on my tongue. Like liquid sandpaper.
