Mostly because people preferred to buy their cold coffee drinks from Starbucks (which was marketed in supermarkets by Pepsi) or they didn't like the taste (Coca-Cola and coffee? No thanks). It was pulled from North American shelves in 2007, but (strangely) continues to sell extremely well in France.
What was life like before Coca-Cola?
Before Coke, homes were simple wooden huts. They had wooden frames filled in with wattle and daub (strips of wood woven together and covered in a 'plaster' of animal hair and clay). However in some parts of the country huts were made of stone. Peasants huts were either whitewashed or painted in bright colours.
The poorest people lived in one-room huts. Slightly better off peasants lived in huts with one or two rooms. There were no panes of glass in the windows only wooden shutters, which were closed at night. The floors were of hard earth sometimes covered in straw for warmth.
In the middle of a peasant's hut was a fire used for cooking and heating. There was no chimney. Instead smoke escaped through a hole in the thatched roof. Any furniture was very basic. Chairs were very expensive and no peasant could afford one. Instead they sat on benches or stools. They would have a simple wooden table and chests for storing clothes and other valuables. Tools and pottery vessels were hung on hooks. The peasants slept on straw and they did not have pillows. Instead they rested their heads on wooden logs.
The peasant's wife cooked on a cauldron suspended over the fire and the family ate from wooden bowls. Candles were expensive so peasants usually used rush lights (rushes dipped in animal fat).
At night in summer and all day in winter the peasants shared their huts with their animals. Parts of it were screened off for the livestock. Their body heat helped to keep the hut warm.

What parts of your body does coca cola coke damage?
The Original Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola got its name from two specific ingredients, the caffeine-containing cola nut and the coca leaf that it is enhanced with.
For years there were speculations as to whether or not Coca-Cola actually contained any cocaine in it. And yes, initially Coca-Cola had actual doses of cocaine as a by-product of the coca leaf, but by the early 1900's, this was banned.
Today apparently, Coca-Cola uses instead of fresh leaves, "spent" leaves of coca - the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level. The company proclaims that it is thus using cocaine-free coca leaves.
The kola (cola) nuts are both a source of flavor and caffeine for the drink. Apart from cola nuts, the special taste of Coca Cola has contributions from vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, and lemons, though the exact formula is kept strictly secret.
Hence here are the ingredients that are made public:
- Carbonated water
- Sugar (high fructose corn syrup)
- Phosphoric acid
- Caramel color
- Natural flavors
- Caffeine
In the past Coca-Cola contained sodium benzoate, a chemical that has been linked to asthma like effects, hyperactivity, as well as it can damage DNA and holds the potential to become carcinogenic. Coca-Cola is still phasing this chemical out in some parts of the world. For more information on this see the article "Coca-Cola to phase out controversial chemical" from Mail Online.
Due to the fact that the exact formulation of Coca-Cola is such a secret, the company only produces the "secret syrup". This is then sold to franchise partners that make it into the famous drink by mixing it with the water and sugar and then carbonating it.
The classic coca-cola is said to have 160 calories per 355mL can (based on Canadian product), 42g of carbohydrates in the form of sugars and 40mg of sodium, as well as about 34 mg of caffeine.

To add to all this, never mind the quality of water they are using, the fact that in some countries the products are contaminated with cancer-causing pesticides, the aluminum cans or plastic bottles the product comes in or the fact that it stimulates thirst on a biological level and does nothing to quench it.
It is sweet, fizzy, and caffeinated. Different brands of cola have different amounts of each quality. Coke tastes less sweet, but has more caffeine, than Pepsi.
Did the original Coca-Cola have cocaine in it?
YES!!! Cocaine WAS an ingredient in the original Coca-Cola when it was first introduced to the public. (This was many, many years ago) Cocaine was present in minute, trace amounts. However, it was enough for people to become "addicted" to Coca-Cola. Cocaine was soon removed as an ingredient.
Dr. John S. Pemberton invented Coca- Cola in Atlanta, Georgia, 1886. Frank Robinson, his bookkeeper, came up with the name "Coca Cola" and created the now famous logo in his own handwriting.

Where can you complain to Coca-Cola about their product?
What you can do is you ca try e-mailing them.
Do pepsi and coca cola have the same amount of carbonation?
I believe Coca-Cola has a higher level of carbonation, because the product is more acidic. However, the formulations for both Coca-Cola and Pepsi are carefully guarded trade secrets, so there is no definitive answer.

Well the answer can depend on the person you ask but I say they're equal because for every person I see that buys Coke at the store the naext buys Pepsi.
