enjoying warm evenings fragrant with food that temps the eye and palate, with a mouth-watering promise of things to come. Little do most people know that Coca-Cola Classic soft drinks are a secret ingredient to creating some truly refreshing dishes. In fact, according to Phil Mooney, an archivist with The Coca-Cola Company, using Coca-Cola as a sweetening agent goes back to the early 1900's.
