In life, there are a lot of secrets that we all want to know, such as the secret recipe in KFC, who wouldn't kill for a secret like that. Another close guarded secret that we all have taste and love, is the recipe to making of Coca-Cola.

I read in Yahoo! that the formula was shown in a journal published in 1979, now the drink however was made on 1886. Coca-Cola rep obviously denied this to be the true formula. Here's the (probably) most guarded secret, you can try making it if you want. Oh, and of course there's alcohol in it, it was 1886!, it was later remove.

The recipe:

Caffeine: 1 oz
Sugar: 30 (unclear quantity)

Lime juice: 2 pints, 1 quart
