Steve GannHow To Make Coca Cola
February 16th 2011 05:16
Just this week however, a thirty year old photo from an Atlanta newspaper may have revealed the mixture that druggist John Pemberton patented in 1886.
The recipe, which can only be mixed by the two Coca-Cola Amatil executives, reportedly contains the exact measures of all the different oils needed for Coca Cola’s secret ingredient, "Merchandise 7X".
Despite making up only 1 per cent of the drink's total formula, Merchandise 7X is what gives the popular soft drink its unique taste.
The recipe is said to be similar to previous lists made by people who have tried to uncover the secret ingredients in the past.
Of course there is one ingredient that will not be part of the recipe. The original formula included cocaine which is a Class-II drug regulated by the DEA today.
So want to try making your own batch at home? Here is the rumored secret recipe for Coca-Cola
