One of Coke's original ingredients is no longer part of the current formula (cocaine; hence COCA-cola). But they keep it under very tight wraps at their Atlanta headquarters. Likewise for the exact ingredients in Kentucky Fried Chicken (although Colonel Sanders obviously didn't take that secret to his grave...).

I had heard that about Coke but forgot, and I did not know about KFC but it makes sense. I don't drink Coke and have never tasted KFC so both are fairly irrelevant to me, except as a marketing person respecting what they did with their brand.

I don't know if you have this in the U.S., but we have a chocolate bar called Caramilk, which is so called because it has caramel inside a chocolate brick. The ads for it make a big deal about making us wonder how they get the caramel inside the brick.

hmm... I don't think we have it, but if we did, I would wonder the same.
