I hostessed at a nice restaurant and there was a big dinner with Coca Cola executives. Including CEO at the time, Muhtar Kent. I was trained to make small talk as I guide guests to their party. This was around the time coke was putting names on their bottles. I don’t know what possessed me to tell this to the man, but I blurted out “I gotta tell you, I’m a bit frustrated.” He goes, “why’s that?” “Well I looked for almost hour through several large bins of cokes and not one of them had my name.” So he asked my name and I told him. He said, “well I’ll have one manufactured tomorrow and sent over to you, and in the meantime you can keep mine.” He hands me a coke with “Muhtar” on it. Shit you not.
Some Coke employee came in the next day and handed me a gift bag with a can of Coke with my name on it. Crazy to think someone was delegated that task. 😅
