Ever since it was created in 1886, the exact ingredients that created Coca-Cola have been shrouded in secrecy, guarded by those who own it but now, a website claims that it has uncovered that secret.
The prototype Coca-Cola recipe was formulated at the Eagle Drug and Chemical Company, a drugstore in Columbus, Georgia by John Pemberton, originally as a coca wine called Pemberton's French Wine Coca.
The recipe had apparently been written by a friend of pharmacist Mr Pemberton's then passed down through the generations and refers to Coca Cola simply as 'Natural flavorings including caffeine' alongside carbonated water, sugar, phosphoric acid and color (Caramel E150d).
Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed.
The famous Coca-Cola logo was created by John Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson, in 1885.
