<P> The exact formula of Coca - Cola's natural flavorings (but not its other ingredients, which are listed on the side of the bottle or can) is a trade secret . The original copy of the formula was held in SunTrust Bank's main vault in Atlanta for 86 years . Its predecessor, the Trust Company, was the underwriter for the Coca - Cola Company's initial public offering in 1919 . On December 8, 2011, the original secret formula was moved from the vault at SunTrust Banks to a new vault containing the formula which will be on display for visitors to its World of Coca - Cola museum in downtown Atlanta . </P> <P> According to Snopes, a popular myth states that only two executives have access to the formula, with each executive having only half the formula . However, several sources state that while Coca - Cola does have a rule restricting access to only two executives, each knows the entire formula and others, in addition to the prescribed duo, have known the formulation process . </P> <P> On February 11, 2011, Ira Glass said on his PRI radio show, This American Life, that TAL staffers had found a recipe in "Everett Beal's Recipe Book", reproduced in the February 28, 1979, issue of The Atlanta Journal - Constitution, that they believed was either Pemberton's original formula for Coca - Cola, or a version that he made either before or after the product hit the market in 1886 . The formula basically matched the one found in Pemberton's diary . Coca - Cola archivist Phil Mooney acknowledged that the recipe "could...be a precursor" to the formula used in the original 1886 product, but emphasized that Pemberton's original formula is not the same as the one used in the current product . </P> <P> When launched, Coca - Cola's two key ingredients were cocaine and caffeine . The cocaine was derived from the coca leaf and the caffeine from kola nut, leading to the name Coca - Cola (the "K" in Kola was replaced with a "C" for marketing purposes). </P>
