The secret recipe of the Coca-Cola formula

An American radio program claims it has uncovered the exact recipe for Coca-Cola in the pages of a 1979 newspaper. Its code name was: Merchandise 7X.

The soft drink was created in 1886 by pharmacist John Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia, and the recipe has always been kept under wraps.
Legend has it that the exact details of the recipe are kept locked in a bank vault in Atlanta.
