Coca-Cola recipe found? Georgia man says he has it

ATLANTA -- It may be the most sought-after recipe in the world: the recipe to Coca-Cola, known by very few people.

The recipe is held in a safe at the World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta. But now, one Georgia man believes he may have accidentally discovered the secret formula.

Cliff Kluge is a resident of Ringgold, Georgia who loves finding and selling antiques.

"It's a treasure hunt," he says. "We go around looking for treasure.

"And apparently we may have found some."

Kluge and his wife, Arlene, recently purchased a box of letters and papers at an estate sale. One of those papers is a cola recipe from 1943.

Kluge believes it is the recipe for Coca-Cola.

"You don't stumble on things like this very often," he said. "It's a letter, and a formula, and the processes to make it. I think it's a little deeper than having fun; I think it's the recipe for Coca-Cola."

City workers demand a pay raise

Atlanta--About two dozen unionized city workers rallied at Atlanta City Hall Saturday morning to demand a pay raise.  As they walked to the state capitol, they said they are tired of waiting for the economy to improve before they get a major raise-especially after the City Council voted themselves a 52% pay increase late last year. 

"We dig the holes, we pave the streets, we fight the crime we listen to the emergency calls," said 911 operator Yuanda Benjamin of the city workforce.  "We're the ones who need the raises."

City council members who voted for that raise said in the past, city workers have gotten smaller incremental raises, as well as a few bonuses.  They also said they deserve the raise because they work so many long hours. 

But Council members like Kwanza Hall, who voted against the raise, agreed with the union members. He said it could've waited.
