There are so many businesses out there that have built an entire reputation on the products they can offer. From McDonald’s to Dr. Pepper, these titans of industry have carved out a place in the market thanks to their special, custom foods. Burger King wouldn’t be the same without its Whopper, and Olive Garden would suffer without its breadsticks.
That being said, it makes sense that these billion-dollar brands aren’t so quick to give up the recipe for their money-making fan favorites. Try as hard as you might, you’ll probably never find out the exact formula of Heinz Ketchup, or Coca-Cola’s famous beverage. These are the recipes that brands keep under lock and key.
