Yes, you can pretty well guess what the ingredients are, but you can't guess the amounts if they're all mixed. Say a spice mix, I can guess that there's pepper, cloves, nutmeg or maybe mace, cinnamon, etc, but I can't know for sure what the exact amounts are. Also I don't know how the spices have been treated before mixing, the spices could be dry roasted, or they could be fried quickly in oil before being ground up and mixed into a spice paste.

Coca-cola does this with their "secret recipie" as does many fast food chains.

Just remember, no matter how hard you try, eventually someone will guess, or come close to what you've created....
