..the supreme court in India because of excessive pesticide residues in their drinks

I always thought it was a myth about the plane, the two executives and the secret but apparently not.

[mummyhill]

I should imagine it so that if the plane crashes at least they onl lose one of them Boris.

Bonkers bonkers bonkers bonkers

All Americans are bonkers

Theres a good reason only 2 people know it!

[zippitippitoes]

for you scientists out there..how come youcan't do a cheical analysis and discover the recipe? If you can test it for pesticide residues

[YellowFeathers]

Good point zippi. You would have thought, wouldn't you????

[zippitippitoes]

don't you sort of heat it up and different things come off one after the other or centrifrugal force or something?

[YellowFeathers]

Lord knows. Have no idea about stuff like that!
I do know that when heated up, it can clean your pans and coins!

There was an article in G2 the week before last about an independant cafe trying to work out the Coke recipe, pretty interesting and they published the recipe so you could attempt it yourself!

article

I thought you heated up the liquid and you had a long tube inside another tube and things condensed on the inside of the tube and you caught them and then they rose up a piece of blotting paper dipped in the liquid and different substances rose to different levels so then you coulkd identify them

[zippitippitoes]

ah but you don't have to do all that..that's interesting serenity..I think people buy Coke because it's Coke like they say it's the power of the brand.

[YellowFeathers]

Made by a medicinal chemist

[zippitippitoes]

of course it's not made to the original recipe because that had coca ground up in it didn't
