Yes recently our local supermarket has been arranging cases of soda into cool designs. They had a cool one setup for christmas.

These are almost always done by vendors, not the stores.

these things are designed and disseminated by corporate, then installed by merchandisers.

As i type this, there is an NFL game on (postgame actually) with a pepsi logo in the corner of the screen. so yeah

alot of time these things are made from empty cases, or even cardboard displays made to look like cases but are not.

Where the fuck was the manager or anyone around all day to say 'Hey I don't like this.' Besides that, they have to have the design and display approved on paper first.

I think a lesser manager approved it but a higher manager didn't like it. (Power plays at walmart are common because everyone wants to get the fuck out and get a cushy higher job) Still, it's fucking stupid. Thing looked awesome.

It makes me excited for the game. That being said, I never buy the soda so I guess it doesn't work.

The correct answer was 'Soda doesn't go bad for like10 years so it doesn't get old by being used as a decorative display for two weeks

Why wouldn't you just walk to the shelf for the soda? Pepsi merchandiser here. I have watched retards do this shit and almost get buried in 100's of pounds of soda. It's impressive.
