Coca-Cola CEO presents Trump commemorative inauguration-themed Diet Coke bottle
Coca-Cola Company chairman and CEO James Quincey presented President-elect Trump with a special bottle of Diet Coke ahead of the upcoming inauguration.
Trump's affinity for Diet Coke is well-known.
"The Coca-Cola Company has a tradition of creating commemorative Coca-Cola bottles in celebration of U.S. presidential inaugurations, dating back to 2005. James Quincey, CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, met with President Elect Donald Trump to present a commemorative bottle of Diet Coke and to highlight Coca-Cola's contributions to the U.S. economy," a Coca-Cola Company spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Trump team for comment on Wednesday, but did not receive a response in time for publication.
"A limited quantity of Diet Coke bottles commemorating the 47th President of the United States— which will not be available for sale — will be distributed to the White House, as well as inauguration events," the Coca-Cola Company notes on its website.

Two days later Trump tweeted, "The Coca Cola company is not happy with me--that's okay, I'll still keep drinking that garbage."
