A marriage proposal goes array until a sip of Diet Coke saves the day. The production design was created based on an empty apartment in Harlem, New York. A man proposes to his girlfriend when the cork of his champagne bounces around the room, breaks their furniture/dressing, and eventually knocks out his girlfriend. Looking for relief, our hero takes a sip of Diet Coke and is ready to awake his girlfriend with the taste of Diet Coke on his lips and an engagement ring.
