Grocery store is doing it right.

These displays are getting pretty common. Makes me think this is actually a corporate decision and not the act of some cool assistant manager and the stockboys.

James_Keenan · 6 months

Who the hell... I just wanted my 12 pack of diabetes. Now I gotta dismantle Mario's crotch to get it.

xync4 · 6 months

6.99 for a 12 pack?? & I thought $5 was bad...

Valiturus · 6 months

These get cooler and cooler as they get bigger.

I hate to be that guy, but at what point does the height and weight of these displays become a work safety issue?

_illionaire · 6 months

I showed this to my wife and she said "HOLY SHIT. ...$7 for a 24 pack of coke zero?"

fatchitcat · 6 months

Wow this is a pretty old repost..

shoblime · 6 months

Does this have any legal implications?

Or is this not considered a commercial use of Nintendo property?

I think it's cool, I'm just wondering what would happen if Nintendo had a deal with Coca-Cola but Pepsi started making these displays or Fanta copied it...

easye7 · 6 months

Where do you people live where all this cool quirky stuff happens? My stores and apartment windows are just stacks of shit.

scottyd1127 · 6 months

This makes me want to buy all those sodas and erect this wall wherever I see fit.

Every gamer from the 90s at that store

0mega_man · 6 months

wow, never seen anything like that before :/

starshadowx2 · 6 months

This is amazing. One of my friends in Edmonton was the one who made this. I even emailed the picture to Nintendo Power to see if they would use it. I'm on my phone right now, but when I get home I can prove I know the guy, if you people want.

RetlaOge · 6 months

Yeah, yeah. Repost

bandkid1 · 6 months

I think these displays are all made by minecraft players.

Respondor · 6 months

That's a lot of diet coke.

FatKid4Sale757 · 6 months

Publix grocery stores do this stuff ALL the time! its actually really awesome... if the store is near a college campus, they'll make your logo or mascot... its a step above grocery store, it really is.

Chemical_Scum · 6 months

Isn't this technically trademark infringement? I mean, they are making a buck off Mario (little kid says to mom: "look at that cool display", mom buys a 6-pack...)

Ikimasen · 6 months

What's the blue one?

itsicenine · 6 months

grantly0711 · 6 months

I've probably seen a hundred of these pictures, and I've never gotten tired of them. NOT. ONCE.

Djent · 6 months

By placing a monitor on top of the boxes customers will eventually want to purchase? Otherwise a Good graphic!

thisisnelson · 6 months

Regardless of the origins of the display, I like this one far more than the one that only features Mario.

Sucks for anyone who wants club soda... you know, beyond the usual reasons.

Smittyeh · 6 months

One of my friends that I ran into last month told me she was being paid to do this for stores around our city, and would change the images for holidays or sales... Apparently making around $40-50,000 CAN a year.

brainflakes · 6 months

What did the poster say? Some kind of promo tie in?

SionGWN · 6 months

There are little signs with Mario and Luigi on the display, but the image is too small to read them. :(

Seems like the legal department is going to get involved pretty soon since those displays are getting so tall.

One_Man_Two_Shadows · 6 months

We should request an AMA for the people that do this.

janizary · 6 months

It's actually the Coke guy, the grocery store has nothing to do with it.

Coke pays a huge sum to get the floorspace for these displays, it's a massive investment and is nothing more than free money for a grocery store.

manueslapera · 6 months

Where is this store?. I wanna buy something there.

Ganjauser · 6 months

Mario bros are next to a pipe and are going to use a shroom. Good times ahead.

IamA request: someone who builds these things.

dez0 · 6 months

Awesome!!

Rustyshackleford3427 · 6 months

where is this??

MidwestDrummer · 6 months

$6.99?! Please tell me those are 24-packs and not 12-packs. If not, those customers are getting raped.

griffith12 · 6 months

thats all on the Coke delivery guy, not the store. Inquired about such a thing last year when a local store had a Super Bowl XLV Packers display.

defected · 6 months

Actually, the soda vendors build these displays.

I used to stock for Pepsi as a summer job, including building store displays for sale items.

Poor, poor bastards who had to do this one. I'd probably walk out if I were asked to build this.

That being said, this is really cool.

MPC45000 · 6 months

If they don't have Mtn. Dew, it ain't right at all.

I can't tell if this is a repost or a new thing that a lot of grocery stores are starting to do.

Since when has a mushroom come out of a pipe in the Mario series? They are clearly not doing it right.

Accurate depiction of Coke Company distribution. Very little Coca-cola which you will need, shit loads of diet Coke that you won't need.

This is a horrible marketing scheme... who in their right mind would buy one and ruin it?

Kahnbrochill · 6 months

Coca Cola guy(s)/gal(s) doing it right**

I dont think the store actually does these.

fix_it · 6 months

Definitely doing it right when it comes to structure, pallet stacking where they can and staggering depth where they can't. I had to stack that shit for 6 years and something that big weighs a TON unless they used empties, and I doubt that.

ChipWhip · 6 months

Sadly, the soda vendors do that, which means there's a cool Coke guy, not a cool grocery store manager. I mean, the store manager might be cool, too, I don't know. But this isn't necessarily indicative of that.

Nixon_Corral · 6 months

The Tom Thumb Grocery Store in Dallas, TX just south off Preston/Frankford road did the same thing. Maybe the same store?

6.99 is a sale? Wut.

flyprdu · 6 months

7 bucks for a 12 pack of soda is not doing it right.

benjiwaa · 6 months

Whoever made that does not deserve to be working at a grocery store...

sjmdiablo · 6 months

Grocery stores rarely build their own pop/soda displays. Coke has vendors that come in to build and maintain displays, and stock shelves. So, this is actually a Coke vendor being awesome.

gertrudestein · 6 months

$7 = no they aren't.

Think about it: Bad marketing as noone will want to buy the product it is composed of as it will eventually ruin that amazing piece of art!

Or just import more...

Hows this a valid marketing strategy? Everyone who likes this is not going to want to buy any of the boxes making up the picture..

as a coca-cola merchandiser who sets up coke product displays every week... this would never get approved due to the fact that they are mixing products from different companies...

This might not be just a random cool display. There's probably some sort of related promotion, as you can see papers with pictures of Mario and Luigi on the display.

OP, can we get a view of the fliers? What did they say?
