numbers can be staggering. It is almost certainly at least a low 8 figure per year deal (possibly more) for "marketing". It's really just a cash rebate based upon how much is sold usually w/no strings attached. While it sounds like a lot to us, remember, Coke is selling sugar water for a large amount of money, even when it's sold in bulk syrup boxes.
There is really big money in soft drinks.
