In every discussion of intellectual property, the formula for Coke is always always mentioned as the ultimate trade secret. Well, three employees of Coke have just been arrested for stealing trade secrets from Coke and attempting to sell them to Pepsi.  This is not even a cyber crime story. Just plain old paper documents and product samples.

I just have one question. Do they really use guano in Coke?
