Is it the real thing?
It doesn't take a rocket scientist and a lab to work out the ingredients we use to create our great Coca-Cola t-shirts but should you want to know the secrets behind the world famous fizzy drink you can buy the original recipe.....
An American antiques dealer claims to have stumbled across the top secret recipe for Coca-Cola. Cliff Kluge said he discovered the 1943 formula in a box of personal papers and letters he purchased from the estate of a respected chemist in his hometown of Georgia.
"Whoever had typed this letter had seen the original recipe. The letter always references Coke and products and stuff," he said. He is convinced it is the real thing and has posted the paper on eBay for a starting price of $5million (£3.2million) or a âbuy nowâ price of $15million (£9.6million). So far, the only bid has come from a 15 year old but is not thought to be legitimate.

When Baywatch ‘wave’d goodbye to our screens! xoxo
First aired in 1989 - Baywatch was one of the coolest shows on TV! Today marks the anniversary of the last ever show back in 2001. David Hasslehoff and Pamela Anderson running round wearing very little was probably the main highlight..but putting aside the tiny bikinis, and the even tinier speedos, it was also full of action packed story lines that seemed to keep us all entertained as we were growing up. Everything from earthquakes, shark attacks - serial killers, nuclear bombs....every now and again someone would nearly drown too - just a minor theme in the show!
As we are wise owls when it comes to retro trivia - we're going to fill you in on some exciting facts relating to Baywatch!
* We sell AMAZING Baywatch T-shirts (and some pretty cool Baywatch costumes!).
* Baywatch is the brainchild of producer Gregory J. Bonann. He was a lifeguard who often worked with Michael Newman and came up with the series idea about lifeguards based on his experiences.
* Gregory pitched the idea around Hollywood for years without success until his sister married TV writer Douglas Schwartz. Douglas later teamed with Michael Berk and sold Gregory's idea to NBC.
* At its peak in the mid-90s, Baywatch was seen by over 1 billion viewers, was shown in over 144 countries in 23 different languages.
* The show drew more female viewers than male. Statistics showed that female viewership was at a dominating 65 percent!
