Bradham, do solumnly swear that the foregoing is a true, complete and correct formula for making or manufacturing "Pepsi Cola" as heretofore made and manufactured and sold by the Pepsi Cola Co., and is the formula for said Pepsi Cola as originated by me and same is now in the property of said Pepsi Cola Co., Bankrupt.

Cheshire, Jr., U.S. Referee in Bankruptcy The above recipe (which is pretty close to the original Coca-Cola recipe) is obviously from documents filed with the court at the time that the Pepsi-Cola Company went bankrupt in 1923.

Title: Re: pssssst, don't tell anyone. Post by: Creighton on January 11, 2008, 06:28:45 pm Hey Yarochrehc,
I suck at numbers but will give it a go. To make the math easier:-) if 200 gallons of water boiled off we would have: 1000 gallons = 128,000 ounces. 128,000 / 8 = 16,000 8oz. bottles. That's a bunch. Reducing the mix to a 5 gal. batch would take some time. Haven't looked but I'd guess Phosphoric Acid, Oil Coriander, Oil Petit Grain might be tough to find.

Post by: Larry on January 11, 2008, 06:30:17 pm The museum also has the Coke formula, but I figure it was easier to get the seven thousand pounds of sugar for making Pepsi versus the cocaine leaves for the Coca-Cola.
