Because when first invented as a miracle "cure-all" in the late 1800's, Coca cola contained cocaine, as many other popular drinks did then. In fact, than, cocaine was used like aspirin or hot soup to help cure mild sickness back then.

The original name for Pepsi was actually called Carter's Drink, so for all of you people who thought it was Brad's Drink should go find a person named Carter and hail him, Carter is a beauty so you should repay him by giving him a BIG hug and tell him he is pure beauty (and buying him hockey equipment).

Coca-Cola has always had this name since 1886, when it was invented by John Pemberton. Coca from the Coca leaf, and Cola from the Kola nut (the source of caffeine).
