YouTuber LabCoatz has released a 25-minute video claiming to have “cracked” the famous Coca-Cola formula, utilizing advanced laboratory equipment and scientific analysis methods. After a year of intensive experimentation and with the help of friends with access to a mass spectrometer, the creator produced a clone of the soda that testers were unable to distinguish from the original. The analysis revealed that the “secret” formula accounts for less than 1% of the total weight, consisting primarily of sugar, water, caffeine, and caramel coloring, with small amounts of natural flavoring agents. The use of coca leaf extract, from which cocaine has been removed, was also confirmed. The final product was rated 9.5/10 by testers, despite Coca-Cola’s efforts to keep its recipe secret for over 139 years.
