Coca-Cola and Pepsi asked to spill the beans

India has a problem with Coke and Pepsi, and it wants them to cough up the ultra-secret recipe that is 120 years old. So what's their beef with the soft drinks that so many millions of people enjoy? Well a recent study showed that both products may have "unacceptable levels of insecticides." Say what!?Apparently, the research found out that the drinks contained 30 times the amount of pesticides that they had in 2003. If you're like me, just the very fact that they have any pesticides in them is news.
Getting that formula is a lot harder said than done. From the article: "Coca-Cola's original recipe, according to company policy, is kept in a bank vault in Atlanta where only two executives -- banned from traveling on the same aircraft -- know it." How's an angry nation going to penetrate that kind of defense? Well, the companies have four weeks to comply, otherwise India could suspend sales.
