Chris Coleman for WPG Talk Radio witnessed something impossible involving a Wawa sign and two plastic Wawa drink cups.

Coleman found himself at a Wawa in Hammonton, New Jersey and noticed the sign didn’t look right.

On closer examination, someone had stuck two Wawa drink cups in the valleys of the “W” on the sign.  

“This is simply one of the greatest human achievements ever,” Coleman wrote.

Almost.

The sign’s about 15 to 20 feet high and the “W” isn’t that big. Then you have to throw the cups so they land the right way.

But if you throw an empty plastic cup into the air, it won’t go anywhere. If they’re full, then they’re too heavy and will tip over when you throw them.

“I’m impressed. And I guess we all should have paid more attention in high school physics class,” he wrote in a recent article.

Coleman stresses he’s not encouraging anyone to start throwing things at Wawa signs for a 7-second TikTok video, “but if you can (on paper) figure out what it would take to actually do this, I’d love to hear from you.”
