Anybody got the ingredients list/recipe? His description is a bit lacking and I don't want to watch the video and notate every part.
>>
>>16887705
Holy kino

>>16887723
Just read the back of the bottle lmao

>>16887730
He does some specific protocol that involves heating and extractions.
>>
>>16887705
>>16887723
OP here.
His formula is at 16:23, but (in case you care) beware that he also mentions a lot of details on how to prepare it.
>>
>>16887734
Actually, the recipe is listed at 17:39
>>
>>16887730
>Natural and artificial flavorings
Everything important to the taste is hidden within that part of the ingredients.
>>16887705
It's not really that big of a secret. Pepsi and every other major food company has known the "formula" for a very long time but they don't gain anything from validating Coke as the top dog everyone else should imitate. For cheap store brands, they simply don't want to use Coke's more expensive flavorings. Pretty much everything that distinguishes Coke from other major (non-bargain) brands is psychological due to marketing.
A couple of decades ago there was a short lived fad of open sourcing the secrets of consumer foods and drinks like Coca-Cola. They even came out with OpenCola. Almost no one cared. It's too much trouble. Even systems like SodaStream that are meant to make it easy only have a tiny market share.

You can't reverse engineer Coca-Cola
The secret ingredient, which is not so secret, is coca leaves.
You can't make your own Coca-Cola because you don't have coca leaves as it is illegal to have them.

Cocaine is used as an anesthetic for medfags (ophthalmologists I think) so there is a legal industry which produces it.
After they extract it they are left with the coca leaves, which don't have any cocaine left in them.

Coca-cola has the sole right to acquire these leaves from the government and use them to produce its famous beverage.

You could try watching the video instead of repeating the same thing the guy says in it (+ some other bullshit).
>>
>>16887753
Open cola tastes like shit. It's soda via committee. Henpecked to death. Reddit in a bottle.
>>
>>16887766
Why would I waste time watching a video to learn things I've known for decades? You come off as either working for the guy, in which case: buy an ad, or someone who sees media as a source of authority to be worshiped. Both are completely pathetic behaviors. Go back to youtube if you're not interested in discussion of the topic beyond getting the guy clicks.

>>16887763
Coca cola is produced in many countries not just the us
>>
>>16887763
I want to drink coke with natural coca leaves. That would hit the spot. I just can imagine it would make my heart race, just smooth and relaxing.
>>
>>16887846
tbf in those countries they only add other components like carbonated water and sugar to a concentrate shipped from the US.
>>
>>16887705
Believeable. I started noticing how nice lemonade goes with cinnamon and kind of remind me of coke. Will try nutmeg and tannin/tea
>>
>>16887779
>Why would I waste time watching a video to learn things I've known for decades?
good for you, but the video actually gives more information than what you both (?) said (e.g., the coca leaves are de-cocainated, something you could but... in perú, or if you have a permit lmao).
I also never gave much of a fuck about coca cola, but this videos is interesting considering all the info it gives, and that's why I shared it. we get enough dumb crap (mostly anti-science and terrible troll threads) in this board, I might as well post something interesting, don't you think?

>omg shill
oh yeah, I'm sure the guy will make a lot of money thanks to me, you and a couple of other anons watching his videos.
I bet you are one of the retards that posts dumb shit. if so, maybe you are the one that should leave, faggot.

I watched his Video and i can't say that he is talking about any new insights. All of the listed ingridients he is talking about is something you could've just googled even 20 years ago. I already knew all of it and i didn't reverse engineered fucking coca cola at my home

At this point i don't even believe he did, it just seems he researched it to make it look like its somehow scientific

He put some effort into it to make it look like science, thats just it. Its yet another asshole who doesn't do shit and just wants to generate money through clicks

The recipe of coke has been known for decades
>>
>>16887766
>>16887922
I watched the video, and those posts capture everything interesting the guy said and more. The video is 24 minutes of needlessly wasting time to accrue ad revenue, and about one minute of actual information.
>>
>>16887853
Uhm, no. I used to work at the Coke factory in Alicante, Valencia, Spain, in my youth. They didn't get any concentrate imported from the US, actually, all of the stuff we've used to produce were aquired from nearby european countries and none of these included coke leaves without cocaine

Thats one of the reasons why coca cola tastes different in europe, even in between countries as Coke produces locally in each country
>>
>>16889077
Pretty sure they couldn't call it "coca" cola if it didn't contain at least an extract.

Given the amount of seethe one anon is having in this thread over people not being willing to sit through the entire video of repeat slop, I have to wonder if it's the actual guy who made the video pushing it. That would be moronic given how few views this board gets and how few it will translate into views for the video but the posts by that anon don't make sense any other way.
>>16889096
It's up to the Coca-Cola company what gets to be called Coca-Cola. There's no legal requirement that it contain coca leaves just because Coca is in the name.
>>
>>16887705
Wasn't it leaked? Didn't they publish on a newspaper?
>>
>>16890861
if I recall that one was so over the top that I doubt it was real

This guy sounds a bit like NileRed. This guy is properly awesome.
>>
>>16890861
the leaked one needs real coca leaves, this one doesnt
so its not 100% but 99%
>>
>>16889077
No. You are ignorant.
There are actually 3 tiers.
There is the super secret trademarked extract that arrives from the USA.
Then there is the regional extract, which individual bottlers make. (what you imported from other european countries)
And finally the local product which the factory makes.
The main difference in the taste is water though.
And sugar vs corn syrup.
>>
>>16890923
>>16889077
to clarify, bottlers are the regional coca cola bottling companies who are allowed to produce coca-cola
they are usually big independent multinational companies who produce coca cola and other beverages, their own too, in many countries
in Spain it is CCEP I believe, a British company
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Coca-Cola_bottlers

so
coke usa = secret sauce with coca leaves distributed to all the bottlers
bottlers = regional extract created in main factories and distributed to all the countries
local factories = local coca cola

>the amount of zoomers in the youtube comments who don't realize that the """secret"" formula is just part of the company's branding

In japan there is a growing market for "craft colas" which are loaded with herbs and spices. It's fashionable for them to large amounts of have free-floating sediment.

>>16891552
sediment is cool stuff, when I made my own apple juices I noticed the settled juice tasted worse than when it was shook up

>you should watch a video instead of making a post on the discussion imageboard
>>
>>16894101
I mean, if you will discuss something, make it a deeper discussion instead of repeating someone elses data.
even the guy who made the video says most of his work is not original at all, and provides multiple sources.
>>
>>16887763
Coca leaves aren't a secret ingredient retard, it wasn't even part of the flavor profile and only added for the stimulant effect. The stimulant was replaced with caffeine and the only reason they continue using "decocanized" coca leaves is to maintain their brand appeal.

Japan's got a weird side so it fits.
they really got into cheese and made some freaky versions.

Did anyone try his recipe? I wonder if it's good

Why would subjective experience of coke every be sufficient to demonstrating it is the same coke? You can't even tell me we look at the same red nibba

>>16889076
That is not remotely true. Your reductive bullshit is so characteristic of this site now. You should chill the fuck out, not everything is a conspiracy you fucking dork
>>
>>16897141
And sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and clickbait is just clickbait.
>>
>>16897146
True, but you don’t have an argument for why this is clickbait and why his explanations don’t constitute authentic information but are just padding. Stating clickbait exists by no means proves THIS is clickbait
