A US radio channel said it found the closely guarded formula in an article in Cokes hometown newspaper, the Atlanta Journal Constitution, from February 1979. A photo that appeared with the article shows pages from a notebook with a handwritten list of ingredients such as sugar, lime juice, vanilla and caramel. It also lists oils of cinnamon, neroli, coriander, nutmeg, lemon and orange.Coke, the worlds largest soft drink maker, denied that the formula is the same as the one for its cola, which is kept in an Atlanta bank vault. According to a Coke spokesperson, many third parties have tried to crack our secret formula. Try as they might, they have been unsuccessful because there is only one ‘Real Thing’.
