According to Yahoo, NPR's "This American Life" recently found a 1979 edition of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution which contained an article about a notebook. This was a special notebook you see because it belonged to a friend of John Pemberton - the pharmacist who created the Coke formula.
The notebook contained numerous recipes including what's believed to be the exact recipe for the American dream drink. Take that Pepsi!
After the jump we tell you the formula. Anyone who actually collects the ingredients and re-creates it gets automatic brownie points.
