Response to Paige Culveyhouse

 I does make me wonder though, why is the fact that the Coca-Cola recipe is such a big deal? Don’t all vendors want to keep what makes their product special, top secret so it cannot be duplicated?




I agree with Paige regarding the Coca-Cola recipe. In summary, she describes how Coke has this "special" and "mysterious" recipe that no one will ever come up with. Ever since Coca-Cola came to be, this has always been part of their company. The fact that no one knows what ingredients go into this popular beverage, makes it so interesting. My question is, why is it such a big deal with Coke? Every product around has their own recipes for things but it have never grown to be such an ordeal, as it has with Coca-Cola products. A similar situation as this one, is with the Big Mac sauce from McDonald's. Supposedly no one knows this magical sauce recipe. Some say it is a mixture of ketchup, mustard and relish but to me, it never tastes the same. This is what makes products so diverse in nature. Each one has their own recipes that makes them number 1 in the industry. Why do you think it's so hard to decipher with Coca- Cola?
