Remember how I mentioned these awesome 30 second birthday parties Diet Coke was giving out to some of their fans? Well I entered a twitter competition to celebrate with them, thinking nothing of it really. However, that afternoon I received the following direct twitter message:
That's right-they wanted to celebrate with me! I was so excited that I could hardly contain it.
After responding I decided to look a little closer at what exactly a 30 second party entailed, and I stumbled upon some very disappointing fine print. In order to win you must live within certain zip codes in New York City.
I was crushed and immediately took to begging those in my life to help me throw a 30 second party. Days went by and I'd given up on the idea of winning anything.
So you can only imagine my surprise when I went down to get the mail last Thursday and found this:
I could hardly believe it-I mean who gets mail from Diet Coke? I quickly ran up to my friends apartment so I had someone to open it with. Brittney put it best when she said "I feel like you're opening a mission call."
So apparently my mission is Diet Coke.
And if that is the case I obviously accept! Look what they sent:
"Hey Nicole,
Thanks for celebrating our 30th birthday with us! We loved your tweet about Diet Coke being 'liquid joy'.
As a token of our appreciation, we wanted to send you a month's supply of Diet Coke. We hope you enjoy it!
Stay Extraordinary,
The Diet Coke Team"
And although I could argue that 24 cans of Diet Coke is hardly a months supply (not even one a day) I was excited and happy beyond compare. I may or may not have carried the letter in my purse for a week so I could show everyone I love.
And I can't even tell you how excited I feel drinking my "free" diet coke. I swear it tastes better.
So-THANK YOU Diet Coke. I can't believe that a huge international company like this would respond with a handwritten letter in such a kind way.
You have a fan for life.
Ok, ok I was already a fan for life-but the free Diet Coke and letter sure helped seal the deal.
