Good morning!!!!

[Mousefield]

Cloudy with showers and a high of 56 today. Not much planned for work around here but sure some will find me.

mostly_gas, to bad about the car. Sometimes it goes from bad to worse the harder you try.
Trust it will get fixed and work without any more problems.

Lucky you Don! And not just on the bottle find - that weather looks great.

So am I right in saying that cocaine is referred to as "coke" for short because of the fact it was in Coca Cola (also called "Coke") originally?

Yes you are correct. Coca colas, original formula had cocaine in it.

Wouldn't that have made Coca Cola addictive?

If so, I can't help thinking they did it deliberately!

That might be why is one of the best known soft drink in the world.

The guy that start coca cola, was a pharmacist, go figure.

Ha!

I used to be "addicted" to Cola until about a year ago when I just couldn't stand more than a glass a day. These days I am lucky to have a glass a week.

Don't know what it is but I've gone off it big time.

jmurray - Be careful I have heard rapid withdrawal from Colas can cause your ears to grow to enormous size and your lips to curl....:confused2:

Actually, the opposite. Cocaine is derived from the coca plant. Coca Cola did, at one time, contain cocaine...so the soda got it's name from the drug.

Anybody here want to adopt this handsome, harmless little mousie? With four cats here I don't think the tiny critter will be safe for long....

 

[jmurray01]

It's nice to see you've not killed it, as so many would have.

However, unless you can put it on a plane to Britain I am out of the question :laughing:
