Why didn't the CEO drink it himself?
 

Why? Because even he wasn't sure it was safe!
That's why gutless bosss like that get big raises and bonuses, by making SOMEONE ELSE take all the risks and then proclaim "Look what 'I' did!"

They probably told the flunky that if anything happened, that he would be covered by his own medical insurance!

Next time the CEO should grow a pair and drink the "cool-aid" himself and really show what he's made of!
