The secret’s out! Well not exactly yet, but the Colonel Sanders handwritten recipe of 11 herbs and spices was removed Tuesday from safekeeping. They want to revamp the security to a tougher and more secure area. This recipe is considered as one of the most famous corporate secrets. KFC President Roger Eaton said “I don’t want to be the president who loses the recipe. This recipe wants to be kept a secret forever. Others have tried to duplicate the recipe but nobody has come close. If this was my company I would want this secret to be kept forever and ever.” Considering this has made him billions and billions of dollars, why would he want to give out the secret recipe? That wouldn’t make KFC unique anymore if everybody would have that exact recipe. I guess it wouldn’t be a top secret if everybody knew the recipe.
