• In the post, she singles out Hanks' love of "Diet Cokecaine"

• The described beverage is a mix of Champagne and Diet Coke, which Hanks is fond of

This week, actress, producer, and musician Rita Wilson took to Instagram to pay tribute to the man she called "my lover, my best friend, my family, the father of my children"—someone the rest of us just call Tom Hanks.

The Oscar winner, typewriter enthusiast, and subject of the recent Webby Award-winning podcast Dead Eyes recently marked his 67th year on this planet (except for that brief interlude where he was in space aboard Apollo 13, obviously). Thirty-eight of those years, Hanks has shared with Wilson. The It's Complicated actress likely knows the Toy Story star better than anybody else, and she shared some sweet anecdotes about her husband in the caption of the Instagram post.

Of course, the one catching everyone's eye is a reference to Hanks's alleged love of, in her words, "Diet Cokecaine."

Before you start panicking that the Polar Express star was getting hooked on a different kind of snow, we should stress that "Diet Cokecaine" is a cocktail Hanks himself claims to have invented alongside the "Cokearita." The former is a mix of Diet Coke and Champagne, a Hanks original that he showcased last year on an episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert while promoting his film A Man Called Otto:

Other things we learned from Rita Wilson's post?

1) Tom Hanks "DJs regularly" on Boss Radio 66.

2) Hanks recently launched a coffee brand, HANX For Our Troops, whose profits go toward helping those who served.

3) There is no typewriter emoji, which genuinely is rather nuts when you think about it.

Now let's all pop a bottle of Champagne, crack open a can of Diet Coke, and have a happy birthday toast to Mr. Tom Hanks.
