Someone found the COCA-COLA (7X) secret recipe hidden in an old newspaper.

After 125 years, secret coke formula is out. 

WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT NOW IF THE REAL COKE FORMULA HAS BEEN UNCOVERED?

      Since it was first made in 1886, The Coca-cola formula is one of the fiercely guarded trade secrets of the corporate world. Many claimed to have found it, but the mystery (Mystery was marketing tool) of Merchandise 7X, the name given to the combination of secret ingredients which gives the soft drink its distinctive taste, has endured. 

      Now an American public radio show claims to have found the recipe kept in an Atlanta steel vault and which, it is said, only two employees at a time know how to mix. The two never fly together. 

      "This American Life", broadcast on more than 500 stations, said it found the recipe in a 40-year-old newspaper. Its website: http://www.thisamericanlife.org said the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published the photo of a book containing a hand-written replica of the original recipe on February 8, 1979.
