Pemberton called for five ounces of coca leaf per gallon of syrup, a significant dose, whereas, in 1891, Candler claimed his formula (altered extensively from Pemberton’s original) contained only a tenth of this amount. Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed.[24] Coca-Cola still contains coca flavoring.
After 1904, Coca-Cola started using, instead of fresh leaves, “spent” leaves — the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level.[25] To this day, Coca-Cola uses as an ingredient a cocaine-free coca leaf extract prepared at a Stepan Company plant in Maywood, New Jersey.

Well, back in those days, cocaine wasn’t illegal, and yes, it was used in coca-cola. It was also in a lot of stuff. Prescription cough syrup still has it.
Yes there was.
I remember learning about that in junior high school.
yes there was. back then cocaine was considered a miracle drug. i kinda still consider it that but the only reason its so illegal is its addictive potential
