Coke and I go back a long way — all the way back to five-cent Coke machines and 6-oz. Like most Americans, I am steeped on Coke apocrypha: That if you put a tooth in Coke, it will dissolve in 15 minutes. This means that Coke has already shut off the pipeline of original-recipe Coke. They might even — I almost can't even think this, much less write it — have destroyed the "secret formula" which has been passed down from Coke executives to the subsequent generation of Coke executives. I foresee a vast and corrupting system of original-recipe Coke black marketing.
