What I really really really wanna know is why Coke taste so much better in the little 12 ounce glass bottles than any other container it’s sold in?

I seem to remember several years ago a disgruntled Coke employee has access to THE recipe and mailed it to the President of Pepsi.

Reportedly the President delivered the unopened envelope to the President of Coke.

A man of true character. Some side deals favoring Pepli were made, but I'm sure Coke was happy to oblige.

Remember the old Coke jingle?

“Have a coke and a smile”

"I'd like to sell the world some Coke"

Its the real sugar, stupid. Mexican coke has real sugar.

American coke is made with cheaper corn syrup.

Mexican coke is kosher for Passover. American coke (unless its a special Passover edition) isn’t.

Here is the recipe:

The ‘secret recipe’

Fluid extract of Coca 3 drams USP

Citric acid 3 oz

Caffeine 1oz

Sugar 30 (it is unclear from the markings what quantity is required)

Water 2.5 gal

Lime juice 2 pints 1 qrt

Vanilla 1oz

Caramel 1.5oz or more to colour

7X flavour (use 2oz of flavour to 5 gals syrup):

Alcohol 8oz

Orange oil 20 drops

Lemon oil 30 drops

Nutmeg oil 10 drops

Coriander 5 drops

Neroli 10 drops

Cinnamon 10 drops

What confuses me is the 8 oz of alcohol. This sounds like something a bartender would make.

“I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony...”

Coke had a hippie in charge of marketing and was trying to get everyone to sing Kumbaya.

If the recipe is such a mystery, what have they been making and selling us all of these years?

Sugar sodas are also more satisfying than their newer high-fructose corn syrup versions. It can’t be all about the price — Pepsi’s recent “Throwback” line, which uses only sucrose, isn’t any costlier than its corn syrup cousins.

Now all the world needs to know is how the “flavour” is made.

The mods don’t appreciate it when I edit a title :(

Oh heck, my post was aimed at Fox for the headline, not you personally! Sorry!

“I seem to remember several years ago a disgruntled Coke employee has access to THE recipe and mailed it to the President of Pepsi.”

I would think that with today’s very sophisticated testing equipment, the formulation of most anything could be decoded down to the last molecule.

The old fountain cokes tasted much better. I think maybe because the syrup to water ratio was higher.

David Naughton (American Werewolf in London” and “Hot Dog: The Movie” movies and “Making It” tv show), sang, “I’m a Pepper, you’re a Pepper” for Dr. Pepper.

I once asked him if I was the only one to have a copy of his hit 45 single “Making It” (a disco song and pretty good one at that), and he told me that it sold one million copies.

Not bad for a song and dance commercial maker and actor.

And he’s a nice guy, too. AND, he got to act with Shannon Tweed. That in itself is enough to get the pulse rate going up 20-30 beats a minute.

First of all it’s probably real sugar in the glass bottles. Plus, in the glass bottles they can use more carbonation. The plastic bottles and cans won’t stand as much pressure.
