It All Started With the Turkey...

Written by

It all started with the turkey.

Back in November, I went grocery shopping in my local North Canton Acme. I saw a giant turkey made out of Coke 12-packs.

I thought it was cute. I took a picture and posted it on Facebook and said- well played and then tagged the Acme I was at. Huge mistake. Huge.

It went viral, mainly because it was super cute, but also because most people on socials are looking for something to do. Or I should say, they are looking for something to complain about. I needed to thank Coke. I needed to thank the truck drivers that drove the product in, no I needed to thank the guys that build the display- it had nothing to do with Acme.

Well, in truth, I thanked no one. I just posted a super cute turkey made of Coke products. The actual vendor that build the display set me straight and it made all the sense. Yes, Coke provides the product, he builds it and he works for Coke, but without stores like Acme, they would not be able to bulid them. So, for heavens sake, just realize it is a turkey make of Coke people!

Since then, I have admired this young man's work as he builds pop displays in my Acme on the regular- the polar bear at Christmas, a basketball display in March, baseball a few months ago and an American flag that just went up a few days ago.

Now, when I post I thank everyone- everyone in the world!!!
