What started as a creative way to promote the return of horse racing to Del Mar turned in to a big headache for a local grocery store.
Vons on Del Mar Heights Road in Del Mar tried to set up a display of Coca-Cola products in the shape of a horse with a jockey on it. But, if you look at the photograph, it turned out to be more like the Denver Broncos logo.
A lot more like the Denver Broncos logo. So much so that Chargers fans got more than a little bit peeved and started calling the store to complain. Some even threatened a boycott. Look at the store display next to the Denver logo. You can see what made Bolts supporters so upset.
