"  A Georgia man thinks that he accidentally stumbled across the secret recipe for Coca-Cola. He is now attempting to sell his find for a mere starting bid of $5 million dollars on eBay. For $15 million you can buy it outright. According to WTSP, Cliff Kluge is an antiques dealer who recently bought a box of papers from an estate sale. Inside the box was a recipe for cola that was dated 1943. Kluge is convinced that he found the real formula for Coke. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t stumble on things like this very often. It&amp;#039;s a letter, and a formula, and the processes to make it. I think it&amp;#039;s a little deeper than having fun; I think it&amp;#039;s the recipe for Coca-Cola,&amp;quot; he stated. More from Delish: Soda Pop Quiz  Kluge has declined to share the recipe with world, and is instead hoping to sell it on eBay. He put his find up for auction, with key words blotted out of the images, at a starting bid of $5 million.

Unless, of course, Coca-Cola confirms the find, which seems highly unlikely even if it is correct. Coca Cola has not responded to Kluge&amp;#039;s requests to speak. However, the company did make a statement explaining, &amp;quot;Through the years, many have tried to crack the secret formula, but no one has been able to reproduce the &amp;#039;real thing.&amp;#039; The real formula is safely tucked away in a vault at the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta.&amp;quot; While the company stated that no one has been able to &amp;quot;reproduce the real thing,&amp;quot; Coca-Cola didn&amp;#039;t call attention to Kluge&amp;#039;s specific find. Apparently Kluge&amp;#039;s 1943 recipe is very similar to the recipe that NPR claimed was the original two years ago. And if that one was in fact real (NPR published a recipe that was believed to be the original Coca-Cola or at the very least a version that was made by Coke&amp;#039;s inventor John Pemberton himself), then perhaps Kluge&amp;#039;s document is too. That being said, Coke that was manufactured in 1943 is most likely at least slightly different than the Coke being sold today. Do you think Kluge&amp;#039;s recipe is real?
