Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net> Excerpt: The column was based on an old leather-bound notebook that belonged to Pemberton's best friend and fellow Atlanta chemist, RR Evans. Glass was intrigued and, after some digging, found the notebook had been handed down the generations until it reached a chemist in Georgia called Everett Beal, whose widow still possesses it. The rediscovered recipe includes extract of coca leaves, caffeine, plenty of sugar (it specifies 30 unidentified units thought to be pounds), lime juice, vanilla and caramel. Into that syrup, the all-important 7x flavourings are added: alcohol and six oils =96 orange, = lemon, nutmeg, coriander, neroli and cinnamon. --- end excerpt --- <http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/feb/16/coca-cola-secret-recipe-d= iscovered> mark -- "There's about as much ideological diversity on talk radio today in the US as there was in Stalin's Soviet Union in 1934. I mean, it's not just right wing, it's very far to the right." --Eric Alterman
