From the post:
>The Coca–Cola recipe is one of the world's most closely guarded trade secrets – but it may not be secret for much longer. Zach Armstrong, a scientist who runs the YouTube channel LabCoatz, claims to have cracked the 139–year–old mystery formula. According to his experiments, the taste that so many of us love turns out to be more than 99 per cent sugar. This probably won't come as a huge surprise – just by reading the label, you can learn that a litre of Coke contains about 110g of sugar, 96 milligrams of caffeine, 0.64 grams of phosphoric acid, and caramel colouring.
If a litre of water is 1kg (1000 grams) and 1 litre if coke has 110g of sugar, how is that 99% sugar? Don't get me wrong, it is still shit and way too much sugar, but the math is just not adding up.
You can't dissolve 99 parts sugar in less than 1 part water. Also this video seems sensationalized and is likely not accurate anyway considering at least one ingredient is not legally obtainable and would get the channel demonetized.
Yeah, it feels like bait and he probably could be sued even if he did figure out the recipe.
