FreshDirect Sold Enough Canned Pumpkin to Out Stack Lady Liberty Five Times

Long Island City, NY, November 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- FreshDirect, New York City’s premier online grocer, sold enough cans of pumpkin last Thanksgiving to virtually add to the New York skyline. Stacked one on top of the other, all the cans of pumpkin purchased from FreshDirect last year would stack up five times taller than the Statue of Liberty.

Lined up, all the pies sold last holiday could wrap around the Meadowlands football field at least three times. Cranberry cans purchased from FreshDirect customers when packed rim-to-rim were enough to stand twice as tall as the Empire State Building.

And while many New Yorkers sometimes feel the passenger beside them is a turkey, if it were true and the subway train were stuffed with all the birds their customers enjoyed last Thanksgiving, the MTA would need seven trains to transport them all.

FreshDirect is delivering its highly-acclaimed, fully customized, Thanksgiving meals again this year. Whether you’re serving for two or welcoming 20, the wide selection of turkeys (Heritage, antibiotic-free, organic, etc.), chef-prepared sides and almost-homemade desserts are available for pre-order now with delivery dates leading up to the big day. Why ruffle your feathers? Let FreshDirect deliver your meal door-to-door.
