Making sure coke gets sold at McDonald's is likely a huge driver of revenue.

They're in it together. McDonald's probably also wants Coke to tweak it's formula every now and then to induce hunger. They're trying to create the opposite of a GLP-1.

Doubt they ever mess around with the formula since the New Coke fiasco

I'm sure they mess around with it, they'll just never announce it.

Makes you wonder if there's a Coca-Cola gas chromatography standard out there. Would be an easy task for new students to run every year, right?

Coca-Cola already has different ingredients in different markets.

That actually seems like an awesome lab to have at a University: the drink lab! Changing taste over time.
