i really really hate coke. all that secret recipe crap scares me, and anyway it tastes horrible. i think we've been brainwashed into thinking it's drinkable in any way.
I am from Atlanta, GA where coke was invented by a Dr. Pemberton (I think that's right) who was a druggist. Having been raised on coca cola, as many other Southern Americans, I do enjoy a nice cold glass, especially on a hot humid summer day. Anyway, I thought I'd shed some light on the secret recipe thing. I was always intrigued by this until I visited the Coca cola museum (yes, there is one!) here in Atlanta with my uncle last year. I went into this replica soda fountain in the museum and these men were explaining how coke is made.... Anyway, they said that there is nothing actually secret in the recipe, just that the amounts of the ingredients are secret. Like they use the same ingredients as other colas, but the amounts are different. That kinda ruined all the mystique for me, but it's interesting nonetheless! So, unless this is just a cover up to hide some crazy secret ingredients (ha ha!), I wouldn't worry too much about the secret recipe. ;) Have a coke and a smile mew x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
