Claim: Coca-Cola was originally green.
Status: False.
Origins: Though this tidbit of knowledge has been widely distributed as part of an internet "Did You Know?" list, at no time in Coca-Cola's history has that beverage been green. The original formula called for caramel to give Coca-Cola its rich brown color, and although the recipe has undergone some changes through the years, none of them affected the ultimate color of the product.

According to the Coca-Cola company itself, the original formula of the soft drink Coca-Cola was never green. The company goes on to suggest that perhaps people formulated this idea because the original glass bottles used to house the beverage were green in color.

It was originally green, but after drink colors is added in the formula, thus creating the brown tint.

Green Bottles, Not Green CokeI don't believe Coke itself was ever green, but it came in green glass bottles.
No. The myth started due to the original colour of the famous contour bottle, which was green. The concentrated syrup of Coca-Cola is purple, but when it is mixed with all the other ingredients it becomes brown.
This is false. Maybe someone got confused by the green glass the the old bottles were made from?
No, that's an urban legend. It was originally sold in green bottles, giving it that impression, however the liquid inside has always been brown.
Coke was originally a green soda, thus the green bottles!
The result will depend upon the proportion and shade of both the brown and the green used. When brown and green are mixed together equally, the end result is a dark, almost black color. If only a small amount of brown is added to the green, it will just darken it a bit.
NO! the can used to be green but the liqued was not.
