Coca cola was started in the 1800's and it used to contain cocaine..They took that out once they knew that it was more than just a "pick-me-up.
from Copilot: "Coca-Cola originally contained cocaine derived from coca leaves, but the drug was completely removed by 1929, with only cocaine-free coca leaf extract used today." That's probably why most believe it came out in the 30's.

:ep Imagine the problems people could have been having. Not knowing why there would be such personality changes, or why they were so addicted to the drink
