Animal testing is horrible... I think it was Dr.Pepper that was supposed to be a medicine.... I saw something about it on the Food Network on that show Unwraped. I'm not sure if Coke was an accident or not but I heard when it was first made it had a little cokeain(sp?) in it(hence Coka-cola and the name Coke) so people would get addicted keep buying it and I know this is true, they have to add brown food coloring cause it's green without it.
