Cliff Kluge, who lives in Georgia, USA, is a person who buys and sells antiques. He recently obtained a large number of old documents, claiming to have found some of them of great value. It's a Coca-Cola recipe.
Kluge believes the document he found is a Coca-Cola recipe written in 1943. He said that the reason why this document is genuine is that there is a description "Coca Cola Co." on the 7th line from the bottom of the first page of the document, which was discovered by the US public radio station National Public Radio in 2011. It is very similar to the recipe published on the website.
Kluge posted the recipe on eBay , a US auction site. The starting price of the auction is $ 5 million. Converted to Japanese yen, it is approximately 58.75 million yen. The prompt decision price is $ 15 million. It is set at about 1,526 million yen in Japanese yen. For some reason, Kluge only specifies PayPal as the payment method, despite this amount of money.
The auction ends at 15:10 May 14, US Pacific Daylight Time. At this time, there are no bidders. We, who live in Japan, also have the chance to win the recipe and make and drink homemade Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola has commented on this recipe that it cannot be genuine.
