Hey there, everybody.
So I'm not going to beat around the bush.
For this week's radio program, we think we may have found the original recipe for Coca-Cola.
And I am not kidding.
I am not kidding.
One of the most famously guarded trade secrets on the planet.
I have it right here.
And I am going to read it to you.
I'm going to read it to the world.
And I'm going to make my case for why I think it's real, despite whatever Coca-Cola might say.
And that is just one of the two stories on today's program.
Today's show is something we first broadcast 15 years ago, and when we did, it made international headlines.
I am not kidding about that.
It broke news, but that is so long ago.
