really just let it fucking go already

7 Secrets Only Two Living People Know For Some ReasonIt’s no surprise that one of most profitable companies ever would want to keep their formula a secret. Even with hundreds of imitators, Coke still dominates world wide sales of caramel colored drinks. But doesn’t that stuff only have, like, four ingredients? Fizzy water, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine and Brown Dye 4? There isn’t exactly a vibrant symphony of flavors in each can.Yet, the formula is so fiercely protected that the company even pulled out of India in the 1970s because they would have been legally required to divulge their ingredient list to Cheap Michael Kors Outlet their government.It even managed to stall a divorce case. When one of the Coke heirs ended his marriage to his wife, she demanded some of his great grandfather’s (the founder of Coca Cola) original notes as part of her settlement. The company had to get involved and put a stop to it out of fear the notes could contain information on the formula.Only two Coke executives know it. Urban legend says they each only know half, but that’s false that part was invented for an old ad campaign.The original copy of the formula is kept in an undisclosed SunTrust Bank in Atlanta. To keep SunTrust on the side, Coke gave them some 48.3 million shares of stock as well as having executives from each company sit on the other’s board of directors.The company has policies surrounding the secret that range from the paranoid (the two executives who knew the formula could not fly on the same plane) to the bizarre (no one could view the formula without God, Jesus and Elvis present or something to that extent).All of this is pointless in the end. Coca Cola still derives some of its flavor from the coca plant; the same place that cocaine comes from. Due to the obvious drug related issues that would arise from importing lots of coca plant into America legally, only one company has government permission to do it. That company is Coca Cola. So even if someone broke into the bank and managed to take the formula, they would never be able to produce an exact Coke rip off.And if another company did somehow get permission to import coca, hell, there is at least one better way to make money with it.The secret KFC recipe dates back to the 1930s when Harland Sanders served chicken to people who stopped at his gas station in North Corbin, Kentucky. It was an amazing success. And while he never joined the military, in 1936, he was given the title of honorary Kentucky Colonel by the governor in recognition of his contribution to the state’s cuisine.Other contributions to Kentucky’s cuisine.Eventually, Sanders expanded his restaurant into a chain. While KFC has diversified its menu over the years, the main thing that sets the restaurant apart is still its special blend of 11 herbs and spices. And boy do they know it.As with Coke, only two executives have access to the recipe for KFC’s 11 herbs and spices. Man, wouldn’t it be weird if it was the same two guys?The recipe is at KFC’s headquarters. But unless you are Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, you have no chance of getting it.We’ll let security expert Bo Dietl speak for himself:"We fortified the ceiling and the floor around here with concrete bricks two feet thick," Dietl said. "We put in motion sensors also CCTV that’s hooked up to security downstairs. They have 24/7 armed guys downstairs, so in the amount of 30 seconds you’ll have somebody up here. Once in here, you have to have two people with two keys and two different PIN numbers, and that’s what you have to have.This is chicken we’re talking about. CHICKEN! Fast food chicken. See, we’re going to share a little secret with you vibram five fingers outlet guys who’re risking your lives to protect that recipe: no one eats at KFC because they have the best chicken in the world. People eat it because it’s a pain in the ass to make at home and the line was too long at Popeye’s.5. The Location of Oliver Cromwell’s HeadOliver Cromwell an Englishman from the 1600s who pretty much singlehandedly ended the monarchy and took over ruling the country himself. After he died of natural causes and the monarchy was restored, King Charles II ordered his body dug up so it could be "killed" again.Because why let God getting there first stand in the way of your revenge?After hanging from a scaffold for over 12 hours (hey, if you are going to kill someone who’s already dead you need to put in the extra effort) the body was cut down and the head placed on a spike. Eventually it fell off and was passed around museums and private collectors. Yes, apparently there are collectors of decapitated heads. Their conventions must be awesome.When the last owner, who sometimes showed the head to school children, died in 1957, his son decided not to continue the illustrious family tradition of being a head collecting weirdo. He tried to give it a proper burial, but it took him over three years to find a place that would accept it.Why? Because even 300 years after Cromwell died, there was a very real fear that royalists, who should Wholesale Cheap Sunglasses really just let it fucking go already, would dig up the head and do unspeakable things to it.Let your imagination run wild.Seem a little paranoid? Only 60 years before, a proposed statue of Cromwell led to fierce debate in Parliament and the threat of riots. Finally, the college Cromwell had attended for one year decided to take their chances with the damn head.Two professors at Cambridge University’s Sidney Sussex college.Only a small group of people was present at the internment. There is no marker, only a plaque on a wall saying that the head was buried "nearby." Worrying even this wasn’t super secret enough, there was no announcement of the burial for another two years.Since then, only a handful of people other than the original group have known the location. The currently accepted system is that when a clued up professor retires he or she tells another professor precisely where the head is located.Everyone knows that if they should ever let the location slip, somebody’s going to be rubbing that skull in dog poop within the hour. Or at least posing it in some kind of ridiculous hat.
