“Ravioli, Ravioli, Give Me The Formuoli”

I was just reading the news flash on Yahoo and sure enough the secret recipe for Coca Cola has been purportedly revealed. In a world of big corporate secrets…this is huge! Anyone who has witnessed Sponge Bob protect the Crabby Patty recipe from Plankton’s evil little pinchers, knows that guarding a secret recipe has been enough to keep Bikii Bottom in Turmoil for over 10 years. In truth, this recipe has been protected since 1886 when “merchandise 7X” was invented by John Pemberton. Could you imagine having a recipe so good that the only two people in the world who knew it at one time couldn’t travel together over fears of a simultaneous death? I could think of a few that stack up to it: My mother in law’s sugar cookie recipe and Cindy’s mom’s recipe for her meatballs. Although they are not guarded by someone’s life, the recipient of the last sugar cookie must forge a fierce battle to claim it.  As for the famous meatballs, they mysteriously show up at every gathering like something sent from heaven.  My grandmother went to heaven with her secret recipe for rice pudding. Hopefully someone up there is enjoying it. This photo, taken in a balmy Mexican marketplace, depicts Peter through a steam-coated lens as he contemplates what’s in the Coca Cola recipe. If you are curious, then take a look.
