Coke Thief, in an anonymous e-mail to Pepsi wrote:
"I must see some type of seriousness on there part, if I'm to maintain the faith to continue with you guys, or if I need to look towards another entity that will be interested in a relationship with me.... If the good faith moneys is in my account by Monday, that will be an indication of your seriousness."

Here's an AIM log of public radio PSHing soft drinks. It's just SUGAR WATER!
MARK AUSTIN THOMAS: Have you heard about the "cola caper"? Three people have been arrested and charged with stealing Coca-Cola's "secret" formula and then trying to sell it. Stacey Vanek-Smith spills the beans.
STACEY VANEK-SMITH: An employee at Coke is accused of stealing information about drink recipes and, with a couple friends, trying to sell it to Pepsi for $10,000.
So, how much is Coke's legendary formula really worth?
Industry consultant, Tom Pirko:
TOM PIRKO: The idea that the crown jewels are being misappropriated is a vast overstatement. After all, says Pirko, soft drink recipes aren't a tough code to crack: just sugar, water and a little flavoring. So why all the fuss over the formula?
PIRKO: These companies are based upon mythology. They live upon their trademark images.One of Coke's trademarks? It's secret formula. Pirko says news of a theft could compromise one of the images Coke counts on to market its brand of flavored sugar water.
I'm Stacey Vanek-Smith for Marketplace.
Tom Pirko could make his own Coke if he wanted to. Fuck, I hope RC Cola finds out about him one day. They could turn their entire operation around when they hire Tom Pirko. |
