A Walmart in Florida Built a 9/11 Tribute . ..

This Sunday is the 15th anniversary of 9/11.  And a Walmart in Panama City Beach, Florida decided to pay tribute by building a replica of the Twin Towers . . . using 12-packs of COKE.  Which a lot of people think was in bad taste. They used black Coke Zero boxes for the towers, and 12-packs of Coke and Diet Coke for an American flag.  So the Internet went nuts when someone posted a photo of it. Coca-Cola released a statement yesterday that said THEY came up with the idea, and Walmart approved it.  But they took it down yesterday after people complained. https://twitter.com/online_shawn/status/773218388516667392?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
