Thats not strictly true. They use coca leaves which meant it used to have a tiny amount of cocaine in the drink. But when the backlash against cocaine started they simply moved to spent coca leaves - leaves with the cocaine part removed. As for the caffeine, its been in it from the start, it came from the kola nuts.
