I followed the link to "Coca-Cola formula" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coca-Cola_formula&oldid=405283134 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coca-Cola_formula&... and read: .... 80 oil orange 40 oil cinnamon 120 oil lemon 20 oil coriander 40 oil nutmeg 40 oil neroli 1 US qt (946 ml; 33 imp fl oz) alcohol 50 oz of sperm .... I'm guessing that last line is wrong... However, for half a second I was like really? I know they use cow sperm in hair products but in coke? Its got be a wikipedia joke right?

  That is the recipe for "New Coke". Coca-Cola classic has no sperm, AFAIK.

Ah, the good old days when you could get VC money for a vaporous P2P startup, then blow it on marketing that was completely unrelated to the company's business. It was just about ten years ago. I still have an empty can in my cubicle.

I wonder how it tastes...

  Better if you leave out the sperm additive.

  Worthy of a few Jolt awards.

    My little brother used to drink Jolt Cola in the late 80's while he was going to all-night film festival screenings in order to stay awake.

Loosely related: there's an "Ubuntu Cola" brand available here in Sweden.

Last time I tought about trying to make OpenCola with a friend the ingredients looked pretty expensiv. It didn't seem very viable to produce on your own.
