Most rich people aren't celebrities and really prefer a low profile. I know a handful of very wealthy people, and you wouldn't realize it about most of them at first glance, especially if you don't know what expensive-but-not-flashy stuff looks like up close.

Edit: And I don't just mean their personal appearance; they tend to drive "normal" luxury cars/trucks, not Maybachs and Bugattis, although they could easily afford them if they wanted one.

Because they don't want any paparazzi types taking pictures of them holding the competitors' products by accident when they get off the plane (or later).

I'm an anesthesiologist. I've put people to sleep from the family that owns the local Pepsi distributor, but the hospital I was at only had Coke products in the recovery room. They asked us to notify their family when they got out of surgery so they could provide Pepsi products to the recovery nurse for that reason.

Edit: also, in case anyone was wondering what the people who own a Pepsi distributor drink, the answer is Diet Mountain Dew.

It's not that hard once you recognize the elements. I can correctly pronounce long medical and chemical words because I'm a doctor with an undergraduate degree in chemistry, and I'm not looking at the individual letters - I'm looking at the different subunits used to form the word, all of which I already know how to pronounce.

You answered your own question. When it's on an expense account, people don't care about the price.

This is also why wifi is free at a Red Roof Inn but a chargeable item at a Hilton.

There are black people everywhere but it's not Africa.

It's really interesting to observe white people who have grown up outside the South go to a majority-black area.
