$55 Million Of Cocaine Found By Coca-Cola Workers Inside A Shipment

Coke and coke have finally been linked together again, as a Coca-Cola shipment in Signes, France had 50 million eruos-worth ($55 million) of cocaine hiding inside.

A whopping 370 kilograms, or 815 pounds, of the drug were found within a container of orange juice concentrate, making it one of the largest drug seizures in French history, according to BBC.

The Coca-Cola factory workers were the ones who found and reported the snow-filled package that traveled there from Costa Rica, according to Bloomberg. Investigators have also said that the workers had no involvement in the drug investigation.

While the name of the drink company shares nicknames with the drug, it’s even funnier when you take into account that up until 1929, there were actually small traces of cocaine in Coca-Cola.

At least the blow wasn’t inside any of the orange drinks, cause that would have led to some chilling O.T. Genasis-like mornings for the French community.
