    The secret recipe for Coke!

    Did NPR’s ‘This American Life’ discover Coke’s secret formula?

    So....what happens to the cocaine they take out of the coca leaves?

    And, BTW, see how useful NPR can be?

    Interesting, but it's not like it was all that big a deal. The whole "secret formula" thing is just a marketing gimmick anyhow. After all, Pepsi has been manufacturing a nearly identical soft drink for over a century now.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Not even close. My palate can tell the difference. Give me Coca-Cola or, in an emergency, RC Cola. Pepsi IMHO blows dead bears.

    They still sell RC Cola? Dayum...haven't seen it for decades. What about Dixie Cola and Double Cola?

    You can find it, but you might have to look.

    Since RC & Arby's parted ways, it's been tougher to find.

    An RC Cola and a Moon Pie will set you free. Just ask NRBQ. You can get both here in the South. Publix carries RC Cola, and I can get Moon Pies by the case at Cracker Barrel.

    You're not one of those people who think Pepsi and Coke taste the same, are you?

    Nearly identical.

    I don't even know if I'd agree with that. Pepsi has a very distinct flavor, imho. I think RC Cola or Jones is more CocaCola-like than Pepsi.
