I love the idea of creating and sharing DIY recipes.
Today I happened to mix something that I noticed familiar.
There is a very popular flavor that people have been trying to clone for a while and in my opinion no one has come close to duplicating a very signature part of that flavor.
Today I am almost positive I have duplicated this flavor, at least closer than any recipe I have found. This was by total accident as I don't even like the original.
So when we clone a recipe spot on, and we release that recipe to the general public, are we in fact causing harm to the company that spent months and thousands of dollars establishing a product line and marketing it?
Or is our community small enough that it really doesn't make a difference?
I know many people will never bother to mix their own and I know many of us DIY people almost never buy pre made juices any way. I just want to do the right thing.
Maybe someone somewhere has nailed this recipe already but I haven't found it.
