How about the effectiveness of different sodas on mold growing. Have you ever left a coke for a week and come back and it was molded? I've always wanted to do that project.

Go to the local grocery store, and look for "washing soda" in the cleaning supplies section.  If you look at the fine print on the box/bag, it may say "Sodium Carbonate" or "Sodium Carbonate Decahydrate" \n\nHave fun, and good luck with the experiment!

Aaliyah's Mama  - answered part of the question and she is right\nwhen coca cola first came out it was use as a drug to treat eplipsic cause it contained the drug cocaine in it .  Then it became a house hold drink.  \nand for some time they did not know why a lot of people back then were buying it right and let and getting buzzed out of there heads   until a few years later they found traces of cocaine that gave it most of it'e taste  since then coca cola company replaced the drug with arifishal flavor but now it does not contain any of the drug cocaine any more   you might be getting a surgar buzz if anything.

In addition to the leaves of the coca plant, there are a number of chemical compounds and solvents involved in the processing and refinement of benzoymethyl ecgonine, or cocaine.  \n\nBecause this is your "homework," I prefer to give no further information, so please see the links I've included in my sources for a more comprehensive chemical breakdown of said chemical compound, and a 3-D rendering of it's molecular structure, and a concise, yet brief description and analysis by Merck.  *Please bear in mind that any information you may encounter regarding the clandestine manufacture of any controlled substances is a felony crime and may be punishable by law; and that this assistance/information is provided (not disseminated) soley for institutional/educational purposes.  =)  Don't try it at home (or in the garage), alright?  \n \nI hope this helps you, bee well, and bee safe.

No. The simple answer to debunk this is that Cocaine was around well before the creation of the CIA. \n\nDid you know that Coca-Cola had cocaine in it briefly before caffeine only? See end of answer.\n\nAs for Crack cocaine:\nSmoking cocaine rocks began in the late 1970's. Rocking-up cocaine powder and smoking it was originally the method developed so distributors of cocaine could test the purity of the drug before it was purchased from the manufacturers. Crack has destroyed millions of lives since it was first introduced to the streets of America. Crack is a relatively new drug on the scene compared to drugs like opium or heroin; nonetheless, it has been part of our history and culture for nearly 150 years.\n\n(http://www.cocaineaddiction.com/cocaine_hist.html)\n\nBottom line: conspiracy theories are almost always wrong. If the basic premise is false then the rest must also be false.\n~~~\nBirth of Coca Cola:\nThe soft drink was first sold to the public at the soda fountain in Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta on May 8, 1886.\n\nAbout nine servings of the soft drink were sold each day. Sales for that first year added up to a total of about $50. The funny thing was that it cost John Pemberton over $70 in expanses, so the first year of sales were a loss.\n\nUntil 1905, the soft drink, marketed as a tonic, ***contained extracts of cocaine*** as well as the caffeine-rich kola nut.\n~~~

Coca-Cola is the default name for the beverage.\n\nCoca-Cola Classic is a more recent name used in comparison with New Coke, which failed miserably.
