Is there really some fancy secret ingredient in Coca-cola? I recall the papers saying something about some guy who wants to take Coca-cola to court to find out because it isn’t listed as an ingredient on the side of the can. Is this more Urban Legend rubbish or will he get anywhere?

Offhand, I would have to say that it isn’t true. If it were, every product that states “Natural and artificial flavors” on the label would have to follow suit.

There is a secret ingredient in Coca-Cola which is known as 7x.
Haven’t heard about the lawsuit, and I agree with Stupendous Man’s logic, but in this day and age, anyone can sue for anything, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if the rumor is true.
