I had a feeling that might be the case!

Makes sense to me. They probably more or less used an existing design. Which itself was based on which kind of metal and metal-working machinery was available. And at that time the cans would most likely be transported in some sort of wooden crate or rack anyway. A combination of (relatively) expensive and fickle cans and (relatively) cheap and robust crates. Suitable to be hauled unceremoniously by train or horse cart.
It’s not like they already had the technology to make a stainless steel keg that has integrated handles and can be pressurized, stacked, be moved by man or machine alike, cleaned, survive a sizable drop, and so on, cheap.

Yeeesss, that’s right folks! Enjoy the cool, refreshing, invigorating taste of Nuka-Cola! And make sure to get your tickets to see the new Nuka-World attractions which started up this summer! Try our Nuka-Cola Quantum line too! Now with extra radioactive ingredients to make sure you have a healthy, shiny, toothy smile! A bottle makes a great reward for little Jonny or Mary-Sue!
Yeah, IMO, noone should try the refined stuff.
I don’t doubt that it is a true tonic, as is kath. I also don’t doubt it can has detrimental effects if taken regularly, or/and in higher dosage. Also, I bet the content of active ingredients differs a lot depending on how and where it is grown. I am not sure if there are as many cultivars as in cannabis, but given the amount of money the bloody drug cartels are making, I would guess they have a lot of people at their disposal to science the shit out of it and breed them the most marketable stuff.
Reminds me a bit of the beverage industry. Hops cultivars, wine cultivars, even different strains of plants producing different colorants. As far as I know, e.g., the Uighur region of the PRC is the largest producer of safflor in the world.
Also, that company from Atlanta? According to the lore taught in my basic university training, they were the single largest buyer of vanilla pods on the world marked, By far. (Since then, this might have shifted, but I doubt it.)
All that said, how are the odds that I can try a Coke made with the original recipe? And where could I?

Oh no. Not at all. Search up some vintage wooden crates from the era, they are things of true beauty.
