Mother-in-law
Some time ago, Bloke and I went to the pub, and stayed at his house. The next day, we both woke up feeling rough. Wasn't a hangover, neither of us had been drinking. When he explained to his mother that we weren't feeling well, and that we definitel weren't hung over because we'd only had Coke (actual Coke) all night, she diagnosed the following:

"Oh, you've got Coke poisoning. That can happen if you drink too much of it. It's got cocaine in it, you know."

We had had between a pint and two pints of coke each. This would be standard-issue pub coke, which may be watered down but contains absolutely 0 per cent cocaine, even in Essex. The conversation went on for a good 15 minutes, yet she was adamant; she may well still have utter faith in her diagnosis.

It was a stomach bug...

I don't know if it's true
But apparently it used to be found in a number of food and OTC medicines.

wikipedia has this to say:

A “pinch of coca leaves” was included in John Styth Pemberton's original 1886 recipe for Coca-Cola, though the company began using decocainized leaves in 1906 when the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed. The actual amount of cocaine that Coca-Cola contained during the first twenty years of its production is practically impossible to determine.

Certainly
I've no doubt that it used to be in there, I'm assured that's true, but I don't believe it's in there any more.

This woman has a driving licence.

Yep
Apparently it did contain traces of cocaine, I think hence the name. Would be a lot more pleasant for the designated driver if that was still the case.....still bless her, she was probably about 40 years out.
