This display, made of clear PETG and vacuum-formed, was designed for non-traditional accounts. It holds five 20-ounce bottles, thus ensuring the promotion of five brands in one display. The unit's dimensions enabled it to be placed on countertops, salad bars, buffet areas and fountain areas. One Coca-Cola bottler utilized this display in an NFL Stadium.

This piece went through several design competitions and re-works. It has a lot of smaller separate inflated pieces (chair, wheels, side bumpers, back bumper, body) that make up the whole piece. It can be hung by the hooks or can be placed on top of a display. Since the hockey season is so long (8 months), it was designed to be hung or placed in the beer aisle for many months.
