Coca-cola is a chocolate based drink. The syrup for it is rich in a
chemical found in chocolate called 'theobromine.' It is this chemical
that is calming to the stomach when there is mild nausea.

This is the same chemical that makes chocolate poisonous to dogs, and
also simulates the human physiologic response that occurs when one is in
love, which is why we like to eat chocolate when depressed!
