Thanks to a couple of women, Kate Rich and Kayle Brandon, you can make your own version of Coca-Cola at home.
The women, who are bar managers at the Cube Multiplex in Bristol, were opposed to the business and environmental practices of the Coca-Cola corporation. Because of this, the women never served Coke in the bar. However, there was still a demand for the soda. Pepsi and other cola alternatives were not acceptable, so they decided to make some themselves that tasted just like it, or better.
The official recipe for Coke is "Merchandise 7X" and has been kept a secret ever since chemist called John Pemberton first wrote it in 1886. Supposedly the recipe is kept under careful watch in a vault in Atlanta, Georgia.
No worries, because apparently, Kate and Kayle have cracked the code. It may not have the familiar red and white branding, but it tastes the same.
