Growing up and been a Nigerian that I am in, I have come to discover that we grew up or I should say I personally grew up to know some certain conspiracy theory. Almost a whole lot of them I actually thought it is true but as one grew up and one begin to understand some certain kinds of things, I discovered that some of those conspiracy theories were not really true.
One of the most funny conspiracy theory that I grew up knowing which at one point of my life I was really so committed to it was the aspect of the coca cola recipe. I grew up believing that there is this secret ingredient in coca cola which which actually makes a whole lot of people to be addicted to the drink or keep coming back to have a taste of the coca cola drink.
Trust me, if you are a Nigerian, you will understand what I am saying. Every Nigerian believes that. Of course it is a theory that has helped to raise massive curiosity for the brand and which at one point have helped the brand called coca cola to actually thrives and succeed.
Coca cola as a name does not need any introduction again. It is one of the most if not the most popular beverages in the whole world. In fact I will say the nearest competitor for coca cola is Pepsi. But even with Pepsi, it is not really as high as coca cola when it comes to brand. Every other beverages brand have tried to get the formula for their secret. But well according to some certain theory painted by theorists, it is believe that there is a secret ingredient.
For many years, all other brand that is into beverages drinks have always been searching for the secret ingredients to help give an edge in the market system. The lot of questions in the heart of many brands that is into beverages and even also for the people drinking the coca cola as a drink. In fact, one of the things that actually fuels the conspiracy theory to raise massive curiosity in the heart of men is the fact that why is it actually a secret Ingredient and why do they make it so secret like that?
Generally, Nigerians as people are actually so curious. They are curious in nature and so whenever there is something that involves our lives especially when it comes to drinks and food, there is high level of questions that always surrounds it. In fact there was a time I actually heard that the secret Ingredient might be some sort of charm to cast a love spell on the drinks.
But as I actually understand, I have come to discover that one of the major things that smells coca cola as a drink to be so addictive for many people when it comes to beverages drinks is the fact that it combine sugar and caffeine. Those two major things help to increase the cravings for people to be glued to the drink at least much more than other beverages drinks that I know of.
Even though it was a long established conspiracy theory that was later discovered that it was false, it was able to establish massive curiosity in the heart of people and even go a long way to even promote the brand identity worldwide. It was a wonderful conspiracy theory that lasted and I will say it is still lasting till now.
