Is it true that only two Coca-Cola executives know the complete secret formula for Coca-Cola?

Partly. One reference states that, according to the company, only two employees are privy to the complete formula at any given time. Another reference calls the two-executives claim a popular myth and says several sources indicate each of the two executives knows the entire formula.
