We are not the same

Coca-Cola literally used to contain cocaine. It started life as a patent medicine made from coca leaf and kola nut, and expanded from there. By the 1950s they at least on paper were already cocaine free - they switched to "spent" leaves in 1904 (leaves that already had cocaine extracted and so only had what was left due to inefficiencies in the process) and later switched to extract made by a third party that was invested in being thorough in removing the cocaine since they were selling that for medical use as well so any cocaine in the extract sold to Coca-Cola was a loss in their higher-dollar product.
Thanks for the mansplaination!

That's not mansplaining. Nice try, though.

I'm pretty sure they were popping barbiturates back then. Benzos weren't a thing until the 60s.
I think quaaludes were also popular

For some reason, I'm reminded of sharpies.

Wasn't mansplaining, but the word you were trying to spell is mansplanation

I'm good with the meth for weight loss and benzos for sleep. Someone else can have the other parts. Hard drugs with no questions asked, please.

I thought it was because they wanted to get railed over the kitchen table with their face in the mashed potatoes.

I believe everything would be right again in the world if we started making cocaine-cola again

It absolutely is: Mansplaining is a colloquial term referring to a man condescendingly explaining something to someone, typically a woman, who already understands it, often in a way that assumes the other person's ignorance. It was info I already had (which a reader could glean from my comment), did not require the explanation, and was tangential to my comment.

It absolutely was. It was tangential to my comment. Information I already had (which you could glean from my comment). And completely unnecessary.
Thanks for calling out the typo!

Getting high as shit shouldn't be an important cultural role...
As much as I want it to be.
Getting high as shit may be the origin of culture to have cultural roles in the first place

wrote last edited by [email protected]No, it wasn't. Their explanation wasn't condescending, they very likely didn't know you were a woman, you likely didn't know they were a man, and from your comment it wasn't obvious that it was knowledge you already had.
They were sharing knowledge and you got defensive for no reason. Be better, because you were the only one being condescending.

So were you saying people called cocaine "speed" back then?

I believe they were trying to say that the stimulant of the 50s was speed (aka an amphetamine)

Common misconception. Raw coca leaves don't get you high. Coca leaves are chewed to help alleviate altitude sickness and improve physical performance at high altitudes.
From what I understand, people chew on them all day. It's kinda like drinking coffee all day. And coffee does get you a little high as well for sure. (Haven't had caffeine in years, tried it again recently. Definitely some mild euphoria and was horrible for my resting heart rate and anxiety. I usually hang around 40-50bpm but black tea put me up to like 60-100.)
