As most of you know, the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest tower is one of Jon's biggest projects and is due open soon very soon. The official opening will be on January 4th, 2010, marking the anniversary of the Sheik currently in office. Well, Jon got a little "treat" the other day from a "co-worker" at the tower...this cool PEPSI can with the tower on it. One of Dubai's best known business landmarks, Dubai Refreshments Company, the sole franchisee and distributor for Pepsi Co in Dubai and the northern emirates, is celebrating 50 golden years of operation, making it the oldest and most inspiring success stories in the city. Crazy, isn't it...OLDEST and it's only 50 years old!! So, to celebrate their 50th anniversary the are distributing 17,000,000 special edition Pepsi Cans, featuring Shindagha (a small pearl fishing port) & Burj Dubai...two distinctive destinations that are symbolic or old and new Dubai. These cans will be available across all it's distribution outlets including hypermarkets, supermarkets, gas & convenience stores, hotels, and in-flight. Lucky Jon, was one of the first to receive one. Will we be drinking it, hell no!! Perhaps it will be an "icon" in our shabby chic cabinet someday...NOT...it will not coordinate with my pastel McCoy's but will be super cool in Jon's "man room."
