Darius Bikoff vs. Coke and Pepsi

摘要

On a cloudy afternoon, Darius Bikoff is sitting in his Queens, N.Y., office, talking about a recent celebrity encounter. "So I'm in Mr. Chow's in Manhattan, and in walks [rapper] Eve with her entourage," he says, leaning forward with excitement. "She sits down, and one of her bodyguards has a bottle of Revive in his hand. I have some on my table. We see each other and go like this"―the 41-year-old entrepreneur raises his hand as if to make a toast, then smiles―"I tell him who I am, and he goes over and whispers in Eve's ear, and then he comes over to me." Bikoff pauses for effect, then mimics the bodyguard, " 'Hey, you don't understand, man! This is all Eve drinks! She takes it everywhere, and she wants to meet you.' So I go over and chat with her." Now Bikoff is grinning ear to ear. "Long story short, we're now delivering to her home in L.A."
