I highly recommend the This American Life episode "Original Recipe" in which they discover the original recipe visible in a newspaper photograph and attempt to recreate it. *edit: hyperbole

Perfectly replicating - apart form where everyone says it tastes really like coke, but clearly not exactly.

I mean I'd definitely be buying it at knock down prices if it's as close as it sounds, not that I drink much coke but I can see various own brands running with this.

There is no way to make it cheaper except becoming bigger than coca cola, assuming they are replication it haha

An interesting watch, I’d be more interested in the Pepsi recipe personally but I think I will give this a try.

Apparently he got that by accident since its basicly the coke recipie without the coca stuff.

RC Cola for me.

Since carbonated water is such a big part of a Cola, wonder if there's something that needs to be to reverse-engineered there?
