Coca-Cola's top secret recipe.
A website claims to have uncovered Coca-Cola's top secret recipe.
The ingredients of the drink, created by John Pemberton, a
medicinal pharmacist in 1886, have always been a mystery.
However, Thisamericanlife.org claims to have discovered a list in a photograph
in a newspaper article giving the ingredients and exact quantities to make the
drink.
The Feb 8 1979 edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a photo of
someone holding open a book with a recipe claimed to be an exact replica of
Pemberton's.
The recipe reportedly contains the exact measures of all the different oils
needed for Coca Cola's secret ingredient, Merchandise 7X.
Despite making up only one per cent of the drink's
total formula, Merchandise 7X is thought to give the popular soft drink its
unique taste.

Real Secret of a Happy Married Life
Real Secret of a Happy Married Life
Once Banta asked Santa, “What is the secret behind your happy married life?”
Santa said, “You should share responsibilities with due love and respect to each other. Then absolutely there will be no problems.”
Banta asked, “Can you explain?”
Santa said, “In my house, I take decisions on bigger issues where as my wife decides on smaller issues. We do not interfere in each other’s decisions.”
Still not convinced, Banta asked, “Give me some examples” Santa said, “Smaller issues like which car we should buy, how much amount to save, when to visit home town, which Sofa, air conditioner, refrigerator to buy, monthly expenses, whether to keep a maid or not etc are decided by my wife. I just agree to it”
Banta asked, “Then what is your role?”
Santa said, “My decisions are only for very big issues. Like whether America should attack Iraq, whether Britain should lift sanction over Zimbabwe, whether to widen African economy, whether Sachin Tendulkar should retire etc. Do you know one thing, my wife NEVER objects to any of these”
