Jenny Slate explaining the history of Coca-Cola
Wait, hold up. Where is all that cocaine going if they still use the leaves?
Coca Cola has a deal with Stepan, the only company with US government authorization to import Coca leaves and extract “medicinal cocaine.” Stepan apparently sells the dried coca leaf to Coca Cola and the medicinal cocaine to the pharmaceutical company Mallinckrodt. I have never heard of someone being prescribed medicinal cocaine so where it goes after that I do not know lol.
One of my buddies was given medicinal cocaine. He had an issue where something ruptured in his nasal cavity, so it was just bleeding non-stop. I believe it was used to help stop or slow the bleeding. So my guess is it’s not so much prescribed as administered.

Cocaine causes vasoconstriction in the short-term and is therefore useful in stopping nosebleeds. Long-term use will cause tissue damage in the nose due to inadequate blood supply and lead to easier bleeding down the road.
Happened to my dad back in the 90s, went to the ER with heavy nose bleed and they gave him medicinal cocaine to help stop it.
Problem was he kept boofin it all
Fuck man. I used to get terrible nosebleeds all the time as a kid and nobody even once tried to give me cocaine
I grandfather had bloody noses so they shoved an inflatable tampon looking thing up his nose that was coated with cocaine.
Cocaine is a vasoconstrictor so it stopped the bloody noses.

Coketex or Grampax?
I knew a guy who would have cocaine administered similarly (to the nasal cavity). Don’t think he had nosebleeds though.
Yeah most of the cocaine I've ever had has been administered into the nasal cavity. I believe the instrument used was a $20 bill.
Eye and nasal operations sometimes require it.
I had a recurring nose bleed. Went to the doctor, they cauterized it with silver nitrate.
Still seems like the relative quantities don't add up. Not sure how much dried leave is needed to make a glass's worth of cola, but I can't imagine there not being a shit-ton of cocaine surplus with such limited medical application.
ENT doctors use cocaine on a lot of their surgeries on the vocal cords. Makes the blood vessel extra tiny so when they cut around the cords, only a little bit of blood comes out. They call it Vitamin C in the operating room.
I recently had some used to set a broken nose. It’s injected like lidocaine. Doctors get it in liquid form.
We use it in a lot of nasal surgeries for ENT.
It can be used to help stop a nosebleed, but it almost never is. I tried to order it one time and it really seemed to stress the pharmacist out.
they keep some in the ER for nosebleeds.
its mostly used in hospitals, i had a nose operation once and the put something containing coke on the inside of my nose before the operation

When your optometrist puts the eye drops in that dialates your pupils really wide: that is medicinal cocaine.
That's atropine.
atropine is almost never used in medical examinations since its elimination time is so long, on the order of days. Tropicamide is mostly used, though sometimes Phenylephrine will also be used to help enhance the effects of tropicamide.
Any medicine that has AINE at the end of it. Like lidocaine.
I wrote about this before. They claim there's only "trace" cocaine left.
What would be interesting is to measure exactly how much 'trace' is and if it can be measured metabolically after drinking Coca Cola.
Hmm..I'm just curious..who is the real imbentor of the coca cola drink?
it's often forgotten but it's been written in public for years
Hahaha, I love Jenny Slate.
Her laugh gets me
I love Jenny Slate’s ass
I'm sure it's grand
Yeah it’s too bad I’ve never seen it. Total mystery.
Bruh
Well she sounds like an idiot to be trusted
Marcel the Shell with booze on
Hey thanks for reminding me that existed, just watched. It was good 👍
Me too..my favorite soft drink is Coca cola..since when I was a child until now.
Just imagine all the dehumanizing strip searching of all the production and warehouse staff of the one company that makes legal, pure, medical-grade cocaine.
Can’t watch it in a Faraday cage
My GOODNESS, Jenny is so adorably cute..
Holy crap Jenny Slate is adorable in this...
I have to add this to the Jenny Slate conversation:
Someone somewhere is still making the original recipe. Mexican Coke? Basic. I give you Bolivian Coke!
Can't watch it in Canada
Something something NordVPN.
Hi I'd like to welcome you to the sponsor of today's comment, NordVPN! NordVPN is the only VPN. Without it everyone online is able to tell who you are and where you live, but with it you can make it look like you're anyone from anywhere in the world! Be sure to try out NordVPN for all your totally legitimate online activities!
I do find the downvotes interesting. What do they expect by saying doesn't work in Canada? That you have to go find a link that works for them as it they can't Google the title or move along without this imperative information.
Haha yeah it's kinda funny how many people didn't like that apparently. Maybe they think I'm legitimately advertising NordVPN and not just satirizing their marketing strategies. Oh well, I think it's funny anyways.
Probably hoping that someone had the same issue and stored a link. Funnily enough, a mirror was indeed linked granted it was after your message.
Solid comment lol
I don’t think she’s really drunk…
Agree but I still love her.
Me too…
Jenny Slate seems like the kind of person who could drink people under the table, they probably just couldn't get enough alcohol.
mirror?
Yes (mirror)
I never knew the history of Coca-Cola could be so entertaining!
THANK YOU u/winter_Artist_2524 definitely not an astroturfering shill FOR YOUR INSIGHTFUL COMMENTS.

The video is titled "drunk history" and is on Comedy Central's channel.
Addictive qualities leading to heart attacks, bet you didn't read about that one.
N. S
Just re- fell in love with Jenny Slate. I could listen to her drunkenly tell me stories for the rest of my life.
A coca leaf isn't cocaine.
This feels like an American trying to make a Philomena Cunk video
Drunk History predates Philomena Cunk by 6 years.
Also, Philomena Cunk isn't funny.
Fair enough.
American perspective, bad taste in comedy.
Yes, Philomena Cunk's "Oh, I'm so dimwitted. Isn't it funny?" bit is peak comedy.
"When you teach a kid Shakespeare do their heads grow physically bigger?" What a knee slapper!
Look, I love British comedy (Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, The Office, Alan Partridge, Ali G, League of Gentleman, the IT Crowd, all the panel shows, etc.), but Philomena Cunk is the absolute worst comedy on either side of the pond, and I'm sure you know it.
Calm. It's not that bad.
Mirror?
