Question

Help answer this question below.

How much Coca Cola is consumed every year?

In the United States, the Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant, which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca-Cola, the Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use.

That is a lot of cocaine.
No wonder they want to control it so much.

I don't favor cocaine use but wow. Doesn't it make you wonder?

    I am fairly confident that the amount of Diet Mountain Dew I consume is enough to make me radioactive. Not entirely related, but I felt like sharing.
