My Desk, My Life: Don Hutchinson

You'll almost always find this cup on his desk. “I drink no alcohol. I drink nothing hot. I've never had a beer or a cup of coffee. But I have consumed 400,000 gallons of <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="ORCRP003499" title="Coca-Cola Co." href="/topic/economy-business-finance/coca-cola-co.-ORCRP003499.topic">Coca-Cola</a>. I'm a Coca-holic. I go to the 7-Eleven on my way to work. I take in my recycled cup. For $1.05, I buy a Super Big Gulp. It's half caffeine-free Diet <a class="taxInlineTagLink" id="PRDFOOD00000005" title="Coca-Cola" href="/topic/lifestyle-leisure/foods-beverages/coca-cola-PRDFOOD00000005.topic">Coke</a> and half regular. Every now and then I put a squirt of Cherry Coke in it to change my day.”
