Raul	831874.  Fri Jul 15, 2011 12:48 pm Quote: Coke without colouring is green. - Francine The original formula for Coca-Cola uses caramel to colour the drink brown. To this day, caramel is used as a colour additive. However, the brown colour was not given to hide the green one, but rather to hide the impurities that could be inside the drink, inherent to being invented in 1886 by a chemist and marketed as medicine. Nowadays its unlikely that there are any impurities in Coca-Cola, but caramel is still used as a colouring agent possibly out of tradition. Source: http://www.snopes.com/cokelore/green.asp
