Idk why but twin tower jokes will never not be funny
You know. I got a massive amount of memes stored about that subject. I can't remember the exact number but it's between 1000 and 900.

Is it 911?
Hmm how did you know

It really was the 9/11 of the Jenga industry.
a true sports car for the ages.
I wonder if this is actually real. I could see it.
The steep drop between 2000 and 2001 makes me wonder. The attack was nearer to the end of 2001.
I think that is because many people buy Jenga as a christmas present, which are usually bought after september.
That makes sense.
The sales dip is also less than 25 percent. If you assume constant sales through the year, the timing is also reasonable.
I think you have your dates mixed up. These are sales from that calendar year. 2001 sales were down a good bit, so after the attack. 2002 sales was the big dip.
Maybe the winter holiday sale would normaly be substantial and therefore had a over proportional impact. 2002 was the more significant drop though.
I think this has more to do with the dot-com bust then 9/11.
If anything, the rebound started at 9/11
Jet fuel can't melt wood blocks.
Not much of a rebound if it's just rebounding to the standard downward trend.
Should've started selling commemorative Jenga 2-Packs.
Like how Beany Baby did a Princess Diana bear
Twin towers Sept 2001?
Correct.
Damn. Lemmy Shitpost is dark today.
