Donald Trump's love for Diet Coke is no secret. During his first term in the White House, he had a special button on the Resolute desk in the Oval Office that he could press to summon a fresh Diet Coke. The button was hidden within a wooden box and, when pressed, would signal a valet to bring in a Diet Coke on a silver platter. According to reports, Trump would consume up to 12 cans of Diet Coke a day, and the button was his way of "keeping the carbonated beverages flowing."
Notably, Coca-Cola's tradition of producing special inaugural bottles dates back decades, and some of these limited-edition bottles have become highly valuable collectables.
