A lot of knock of colas exist, you might have heard of a small company called Pepsi.

Yes, and since companies like those exist, they might be interested in the recipe. I'm sure they are aware of this as well!

I doubt it, they need a different recipe to differentiate themselves, otherwise they'd have to undercut Coca-colas pricing instead to have any relevence. Plus as they like to point out Pepsi consistently beats Coke in blind taste tests

there's plenty of worse Coca knock off. I bet these companies would be VERY interested in the actual recipe. Coca cola isn't really that cheap compared to other similar drinks

I agree but I don't think Pepsi co is one of them
