To be honest neither of them are great representations of COLA.
"Cheap" brands taste far closer to the mark.
A while ago I found a few companies that sold I think more natural sodas. I guess with pure sugar or without the stuff in popular stuff like Coke and Pepsi. I wish I could remember the names of the companies but they make natural creme sodas, colas, and stuff like that.

According to these two websites it's true. Plus this was in the 1800's and they didn't exactly have the kind of laws to regulate what went into products like we do now.
Turns out I guess it is true as it's on wiki as well.

I see Coke's recipe is a strictly guarded secret. Wiki reads, "The primary taste of Coca-Cola is thought to come from vanilla and cinnamon, with trace amounts of essential oils, and spices such as nutmeg."
Strange as when I recall the taste of coke vs pepsi, I would remember those flavors in pepsi more than coke. Because coke was just too strong. Maybe I needed to try the shake trick.
