googled it... some estimates put mcdonalds coca cola sales at over $1b usd a year so maybe this one isnt so inflated lol
Yea, after the syrup is remixed it's estimated that McD's sells hundreds of millions of gallons of Coke products a year. It's def something you have a dedicated executive team to make sure everything is working smoothly.
(never mind, think I read the comment wrong!)

I read that the syrup is stored in these special tanks, and when it's mixed with the carbonated water, it comes out as the best tasting, freshest Coca-Cola you can get. It's always tasted amazing at McDonald's. Almost like bottled Coke.

I don't think there was any sarcasm there.

#16I'm guessing that whoever posted this recently listened to the Acquired podcast episode about Coca-Cola:

Great podcast BTW, lots of good stuff in the archives.
EDIT: Someone beat me to the comment, but leaving my comment here for the link.

#17Whenever I see "President" as a corporate title, I think "over inflated sales title to make clients feel like they are being taken serious and talking to actual leadership". I've seen "presidents" reporting to "vice-presidents"!
This is a common convention in the financial sector and several others but not necessarily all industries. Companies that produce actual goods often have way less title inflation than others.

#18Making sure coke gets sold at McDonald's is likely a huge driver of revenue.
They're in it together. McDonald's probably also wants Coke to tweak it's formula every now and then to induce hunger. They're trying to create the opposite of a GLP-1.

Whether the title is president, EVP, or SVP, I find it almost shocking that people here are surprised that McDonalds has a very senior person in charge of the Coca-Cola relationship. Yes, title inflation happens at a lot of companies, but I'm willing to cut a lot of slack when you get to $1B revenue or leading responsibility for a major product area.
