Domino’s and Coca‑Cola Launch Free‑Drink Promotion Honoring Viral Delivery Driver

The giveaway turns a small act of service into a national pay‑it‑forward moment.

Overview

  • Domino’s and Coca‑Cola announced Wednesday a U.S. promotion running April 30 to May 3 that gives a free 20‑ounce Coke with online orders that use the code DANTHEMAN.
  • The offer covers Coca‑Cola, Diet Coke, and Coca‑Cola Zero Sugar, with the companies saying they want to “pay it forward” in response to the viral story.
  • The promotion follows early‑April doorbell video of 68‑year‑old driver Dan Simpson buying a two‑liter Diet Coke with his own money after his store was out.
  • The Boise customers later said both have vision impairments, which made the quick store run a meaningful help they could not easily do themselves.
  • A GoFundMe started by customer Brian Wilson has raised about $168,000 to support Simpson as he prepares to retire, reflecting the broad public response to the video.
