OpenCola – Open Source Soft Drink
From a pure geek perspective, I gotta try this stuff. Not that I really need an excuse to drink more pop, but hey, now I can take a little pride in it!
HOWTO make OpenCola
Cory Doctorow: Wiki-How has a page up today on making OpenCola, a freely licensed soft-drink. I helped found the company that developed and released the OpenCola drink, and it was developed by Amanda Foubister in our kitchen. It tastes excellent, but it also highlighted for me just how much sugar there is in this stuff — a lot. When you make cola, you basically end up filling a glass with sugar and then adding just enough water and ancillary ingredients to get it to dissolve.
