I doubt this is new, but it looks interesting. I should make some this summer!

If by neat you mean gay, and looks you mean is, then I agree with you.

It's applying the open source idea outside the digital world. Props to them.

Except one thing, though - OpenCoke already tastes like coke so it doesn't need modifying. I don't have a problem with it, of course, because I rarely ever modify any open source project (save perhaps JavaOp, which I've done a bit of work on), and I still support the principles behind this (and OpenBeer!).

Wow I've never heard of anything like this, real good idea IMO. I have to get me some of this and bring back the cocaine!

He's mentioned he's Christian multiple times, and has never implied he was Catholic...

Yeah, it does because

1. You're attaching labels to people for no apparent reason
2. You're labeling him as extremist
3. You're trying to be funny
4. You're a retard

3. Nobody Cares.

1. Was I talking to you? Not to mention, being pedantic has no application in this topic
2. It wasn't the political integrity (whatever the fuck that is supposed to mean, since that obviously doesn't apply here)
3. Once again, I wasn't talking to you, and you're trying too hard to sound intelligent
4. Give up, you're worthless

Here, I'll brake it down for your too-intelligent-for-me mind.

"Nobody gives a fuck that he said catholic instead of christian. Stop pointing out stupid technicalities in a forum which is based of joking around".

Interesting idea, but I think it'd take WAY too much time, effort, & money to get anything out of it:(

Uh, there are things called "recipe-books" that are known to list specific ingredients and proportions of things for all sorts of foods and beverages.  One of the differences here is that this a commercial food product, that a particular company has sold at least 150,000 times, and has its exact contents freely available.  This way the general public knows exactly what it's getting (something that may necessarily be more valued in the future), and competing companies and personal users ( 8) ) can publicly make improvements on the source.  Under this philosophy, over time you should have a more accountable and higher quality product.

Let me get this straight..

Someone GPLed a fucking recipe? Now all of it's consumers must provide the full sourcecode to their most inner secrets.

You haven't seen TUN in a while, have you? I've given enough reason to be labeled as Christian, including labeling myself one several times.

It worked.

As far as Tazo, no, I don't drink.

Nice work Joe. Topaz basically defended you and you yell at him. Funny.
