[QUOTE=Dewey Finn] I wonder who was responsible for designing the display in the OP. I can’t imagine that some stock clerk had the time to figure it out and set it up on his own. So did the local distributor rep have a diagram someone back at the bottler handed out, with instructions for recreating it? [/QUOTE] Usually, the local jobber sets up the special displays in addition to the more mundane tasks like stocking the shelves. I’ve never thought to ask if someone at Coca-Cola or Pepsi corporate generates the displays or if it’s up to the individual jobbers to have a bit of creativity. ---

Meh. It’s been 15 years. We should expect crass. Something like 20% of the US population wasn’t even born when the towers fell. A couple more decades and the majority of the population won’t have lived through it. I expect [Twin Towers bounce castles](http://wildjumps.com/images/Dry%20Slides/33Ft_Giant_Titanic_Dry5_big.jpg) in 2040 at the outside.
