Method widely circulated on the Internet:
Step 1: Mix a small amount of coriander seed oil and orange flower oil, 0.94 grams of orange oil, 1.79 grams of lemon oil, 0.14 grams of cardamom oil, Mix 0.41 grams of cinnamon oil, 9.42 grams of alcohol and 5.5 grams of water. After 24 hours, the mixture will separate and the upper transparent yellow liquid - "Seven Flavors" secret fragrance - will be taken out.
Step 2: Dissolve 4.88 grams of sugar in the minimum amount of boiling water. After cooling, add 73 grams of caramel, 6.3 grams of caffeine, 22.4 grams of pentavalent phosphoric acid and a small amount of Kola fruit. Kernel flour and stir into thick syrup.
Step 3: Add 61 grams of lime juice, 38.7 grams of glycerin and 3.07 grams of vanilla extract to the syrup, then mix with the "Seven Flavors" secret fragrance obtained in the first step and stir well.
The last step: add 5.5 times aerated cold water (pure carbonated water), so you get 50 pints of Coke.

It is difficult to distinguish Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola without being an absolute expert. If you don’t believe it, you can ask others to pour five cups of them separately and put them together, and then taste them and judge. The accuracy is guaranteed not to reach 60%. If you still don’t believe it, you can make five more cups by yourself according to the recipe below, and then add five cups each of Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, put the fifteen cups of drinks together in a chaotic order, and then taste them. The accuracy rate at that time could not even reach 30.

"Mysterious Substance"
Many competitors of "Coca-Cola" have hired senior chemists with high salaries to decipher its public formula "7X100", but they have never succeeded. Scientific researchers learned through laboratory tests that the most basic ingredient of Coca-Cola is water, plus a small amount of sucrose, carbon dioxide, etc. Some companies have followed this method, but the taste of the prepared drinks is quite different. Only then did people realize that there was a "mysterious substance" in Coca-Cola that accounted for less than 1% of the total, which allowed Coca-Cola to maintain its glory for more than a century.
A few days ago, Boermer, president of the European Institute of Food Science and an expert in food chemistry research, and his partner, biologist Ms. Valmut, published a book titled "A Dictionary of Popular Diet Misunderstandings" Said that after long-term research, they unlocked the secret of Coca-Cola formula.
They revealed that 99.5% of the ingredients in Coca-Cola are sugar water containing carbon dioxide, of which a very small proportion is a spice mixture, which is what gives Coca-Cola its unique taste. This spice blend includes extracts, filters and dyes from vetch, ginger, mimosa, orange leaves, coca leaves, cinnamon and vanilla barks. However, they pointed out that the recipes of Coca-Cola produced in different countries and regions are not exactly the same to suit the tastes of customers everywhere.
Possibly for reasons of trade secrecy, Bolmer and Valmut did not disclose how these ingredients were produced and how they were blended into Coca-Cola. But Coca-Cola has denied that the formula was declassified.
Dilemma: Innovation and preservation
Let us put aside the question of whether the formula has been declassified for the time being. It is foreseeable that once the Coca-Cola formula is revealed (this is only a hypothesis), Coca-Cola will face a dilemma: create a new formula, or maintain the traditional formula? Can Forever Formula Sustain Forever Coca-Cola?
In terms of formula innovation, Coca-Cola Company has learned its lessons. In the mid-1980s, The Coca-Cola Company decided to conduct taste experiments. The results show that most people prefer a sweeter taste, which is closer to drinks produced by Pepsi-Cola. In 1985, The Coca-Cola Company scrapped the old formula and introduced a new one with much fanfare. But Coca-Cola's most loyal customers disagree.
Just three months after the incident, Coca-Cola gave in to the angry reaction of consumers and reused the old formula, while the new formula was abandoned. The New York Times once called Coca-Cola's formula modification one of the most significant mistakes in the American business community in the past 100 years. This incident of modifying the formula should be still fresh in the memory of Coca-Cola Company. But innovation is always the driving force for a company's development. If it always sticks to the traditional formula and does not innovate, once the formula is decrypted, it may be followed by a multi-faceted shock wave to the company's dominance in the beverage industry.
Quotes from "Kung Fu Panda":
The secret is NO secret.
The secret is that there is no secret recipe (only confidence)
I think Coca-Cola may be like this!
As for why there are so many competitors of similar products
I think it is because Coke has become a global best-selling product, and its taste is recognized by many people around the world; and it is understood that , the cost of a bottle of Coke is much lower than that of a bottle of juice. With such a good way to make money, who would want to let this savvy business go by?
In one sentence: great profits!
