I followed the link to "Coca-Cola formula" 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?

Tapping the history link shows that the ingredient in question was added in the last day.

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

10 year old story

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.
