Buy a Coke from Mr. Gates!

Our next Coke celebrity is none other than one of the world's wealthiest people.  It's Bill Gates! Sure, Bill doesn't really need the money. That's part of the gag in this commercial where he tries to buy a Coke while working late.  He is out of money, so he gets not Coke. You see him walking down the darkened hallway asking to borrow some money.

Actually, Bill has always been a Coke supporter.  When Microsoft first started, among other perks, employees had access to free Coca-Cola.  Now that sounds like a place I'd life to work at, especially if they let me keep the cans. Ironically, it also means the commercial was inaccurate...maybe Bill was moonlighting at a rival company that night.  Food, or actually drink, for thought...
