Formula
	The formula of Coca-Cola was one of the most closely held secrets that only a few employees known or have access to. In particular, the secret ingredient "7" has long been touted an integral component of Coca Cola's formula though it has been never etablished what, if anything, the "X" refers to-- althought it has been stated that Coca Cola had employees mx the drink by numbers assigned to specific ingredients rather than by name, to avoid the possibility of employees reserve engineering the reipe.However, experienced perfumers and food scientifistes, today help modern analytical methods, can easily identify the composition of food products, a fact that is further supported by the many cola flavourings and competing soft drinks like Pepsi.
