The new soft drink was one of many concoctions in that era containing cocaine, which was being touted as a benign substitute for alcohol. Coke, in fact, was promoted as a patent medicine, which would "cure all nervous afflictions--Sick Headache, Neuralgia, Hysteria, Melancholy, Etc...." How much cocaine Coke actually contained and how much kick you got from it is not known (a Coke spokesman today says the amount was "trivial"). But for years Southerners called the stuff "dope" or "a shot in the arm," while soda fountains were called "hop joints" and Coke delivery trucks "dope wagons." In the 1890s, however, public sentiment began to turn against cocaine, which among other things was believed to be a cause of racial violence by drug-crazed blacks. In 1903 the New York Tribune published an article linking cocaine with black crime and calling for legal action against Coca-Cola. Shortly thereafter Coke quietly switched from fresh to "spent" coca leaves (i.e., what's left over after the cocaine has been removed). It also stopped advertising Coke as a cure for what ails you and instead promoted it simply as a refreshing beverage. Does the substitution of denatured coca for The Real Thing constitute a change in the magic Coke formula? Not according to Coke. The true source of Coke's unique flavor, the company contends, lies not in the coca/cola combination but in the special mix of oils and flavorings added thereto, including the mysterious ingredient known as Merchandise 7X. The formula is kept in a bank vault and known to only a handful of Coke employees (and of course at least one other person--but I'll never tell). It was this formula that Coke changed when it introduced the infamous New Coke, replacing Merchandise 7X with an updated Merchandise 7X-100. There are those who say that Asa Candler, who bought the infant Coke company from Pemberton, tinkered with the formula a bit before settling on a version that he liked; and these folks claim that the formula thus cannot truly be said to be 99 years old. Others regard this as contemptible nitpicking. Still, whatever may be said about the formula, Coke's taste has certainly altered over the years. The most radical (and to serious Coke aficionados, most upsetting) change came in 1980, when Coke, in an effort to control costs, permitted its bottlers to substitute high-fructose corn sweetener for the beet and cane sugar once used in the product. The result was that Coke's previously crisp and bracing taste was sadly blunted. For that reason I didn't share the feelings of the fanatics who stocked up on "old" Coke when the new version was first introduced. The regrettable fact is that Coke hasn't been It for many years.

| 'Cola Syrup' red and white label is available at most Walgreen's. My MIL used to swear by it. About 2 tbsp in a glass w/ ice. I would think it would be fine for pups, too. |

| One thing that helps with nausea (in humans, never tried with dogs but can't hurt) is mint. You don't have to eat it, but if you have an aromatherapy diffuser you can buy peppermint essential oil. The least it will do is make your house smell really good. It helps my stomach a ton though. |

| cola contains caffiene! I would not give cola syrup to a dog for the same reason I would not give a dog chocolate. Caffeine is toxic! Humans can eat it and chocolate because we're fortunate enough to have enzymes that break it down in our systems, but dogs & cats don't. --H |

| I use Cola Syrup over ice for myself when I have an upset stomach and it takes the problem away immediately but it is high in caffeine so I wouldn't use it for an animal. You can use Pepto-Bismol, Pepcid and things like that but ask your vet for the correct dosage. |

Really ought to use quotes and identify an exerpt of someone else's words so as not to wind up with a copyright problem on the forum. Even then, I would not use more than a few lines, to keep within the "fair use" law.
