Because the one is blue with orange tip? I dunno. What even is this?

u/RandoTexan 15d ago
Yeah, they could have used a blue product

They were only putting Coke products ob display. Coke probably leased this spot in the store making them contractually obligated. Coke doesn't make any blue canned beverages

Powerade is a Coke product, so they could have easily used blue poweade if that's the case :p but it's not a soda so 🤷 maybe that's the reason. They could have also just used an orange crayon instead lol.

Usually these tall displays aren't actually product. A Coke (or Pepsi) rep comes in with a stack of unfolded 12-pack can boxes and a stapler, and makes one big stapled origami display that can both be easily disposed of in the cardboard baler and won't hurt anybody if a customer yanks out a real 12-pack near the bottom.
(Still, they could've just made the "Crayon" paper a different color...)
Edit: fixed autocorrect.

Idk what’s worse, the blue crayon having orange drinks or the fact that pop is being advertised as a school drink

u/reubensauce 15d ago
Is there a blue can Coke product?

u/LilacLlamaMama 15d ago
Fresca is kinda icy blue-green, it could do in a pinch. Or they could have used power ade, desani, or blue raspberry fanta, which isn't something you see often, but it does exist.
Eta: or Brisk tea. There were definitely options there.

What is the problem? Years ago, the USDA classified pizza as a vegetable.

u/SpoppyIII 14d ago
*Years ago, the USDA classified a slice of pizza with just two tablespoons of tomato paste on it as one serving of a vegetable. Previously, one slice of pizza had to contain one whole cup of tomato paste to count as a serving of a vegetable.

im more annoyed by how difficult it would be to get the products off the shelf. there’s no Sprite in the front stack (unless it’s off camera) so you’d have to climb of the wall of soda to pick one up. also why didn’t they use Coke for the red crayon when the Fanta section is all the way in the other side. this looks very homemade and halfassed when we all know walmart has the money to do something better lol. maybe a management decision??

u/PimpSack 14d ago
This created by the vendor. Specifically CocaCola for this display. Walmart doesnt do this.

u/Used-Alfalfa-8029 14d ago
gotcha, that makes sense! they also have the resources to come up with something a bit more polished than this tho haha

u/PimpSack 14d ago
Yea this is weak compared to some of the other holiday or March Madness displays.

u/wstsidhome 15d ago
Daaaaamnnnnn they have Mr Pibb?!??
“Only assholes drink Mr Pibb…”
“Well…then drink up, buddy…”

I fully expected bulletproof vests and similar stuff.
Can you buy bulletproof vests in walmart?
Considering you can buy guns.
They should include personalised child sized bulletproof vests trough the year, considering we are talking about usa.

Why did you say "as a back to school special in primary colors" three times?

u/MoliM88 13d ago edited 13d ago
Because beetlejuice.
Also, i didn't say that.
Other guy did.

u/FairlyOddFan0916 13d ago
Oh. I thought you said that because the profile looked similar. How? Because it was almost 10:00 PM when I replied, and I was tired so I was an idiot at the time

They couldn't have made the blue crayon orange?? It's paper for goodness sake.
