the coca-cola recipe has been hidden for 125 years. it appears a radio program may have finally found the real thing. producers of this american life say they stumbled upon the soda's secret recipe in a photo published in 1979's atlanta journal-constitution article. they say coke's secret paper comes from a mixture called 7x which includes cinnamon, nutmeg oil, orange oil, something else and core reander whatever that is. the historian at coca-cola says it's not the real recipe. >> it's not. it's probably the most closely guarded secret in the history of american commerce. >> he says only a handful of executives actually knows the true ingredients and that every couple of years someone claims to have an old document believing it's the recipe for the original coke. >>> are you looking to save a few dollars? how about 50 bucks a day? yahoo's financially fit report it's easier to trim costs. they guarantee at least 15% discount at more than 15,000 restaurants. health savings accounts can slash drug costs i half. drop cable and sign up for
