What I mean is, will I ever run into a store display for his Welch's grape juice promos? I'm hoping to see one and refrain from squealing and embarrassing myself in public. When I find one, I'll have to convince the store manager how much I need that display so it will come home with me. I just see myself, pleading for it, whining if need be, declaring my self-proclaimed #1 fan status, doing just about anything to get my mitts on a store display.Alas, nary one in sight. Periodically, I stroll down the fruit juice aisle at various mega-marts hoping to spot one.
Zip.
Zilch.
Nada.
Unfortunately my luck is running into store displays for my non-favorite Food Network hosts. I still recall the horror of running into Rachel Ray. Minding my own business purchasing some food for my beloved hound dog, I was shocked and traumatized upon turning an end cap and coming into view of a three foot poster of Rach and her pooch. And this wasn't the first time such luck came my way. A few years ago while perusing Linen N Things, I moved to the cookware aisle only to be greeted with Rach's smiling mug, at least five feet tall, for her fabulous cookware. I'm shivering from recalling the trauma.
Yep, that's how it goes with me sometimes. Could I possibly run into a store ad for someone I admire... nooooo! :-P
I had big, big plans for scoring a large store display, preferable a life size cardboard cutout of AB. I could just imagine myself lugging the thing to the Smithsonian event next month. Yes I would... silly fangirl, remember?
My favorite of all the print ads is this one:
But, as far as I can tell there are no in-store promos for the campaign. Or none where I live.
Bummer.

THis is great, if I see one, I'll grab it for you...I'll keep my eyes open.
G :-)
Thanks.
If you find one, you'll get the hear the fangirl squeal. ;)
Rachel Ray is still really fun to watch on mute. If I find an Alton cutout, we can trade :-)
I've not seen any in this neck of the woods and I've been keeping a watch for it.
I work at as a cook at an upscale grocery store. We always have big fancy displays in our aisles. I try to find a way to make a trip to the juice aisle, just to take a look.
I had it all planned out how I would explain to the store manager why I needed an Alton Brown juice display.
So far, nothing.
