Calera’s quirky social media: Speeding, Back to the Future, Cracker Barrel + satire
Reading time: 2 minutes
Along with being one of the fastest-growing towns in Alabama, the City of Calera might possess the most clever and engaging social media feeds.
Last week, the Shelby County town right off I-65 posted two knee-slapping stories about speeding and the movie “Back to the Future” and wise advice about the Cracker Barrel logo change. Check it out.
Calera: Back to the Future time-travel doesn’t work on I-65
When motorists travel on I-65 they really start picking up speed around the Calera exit like Marty McFly in Back to the Future. Don’t say the town did not warn you about state troopers looking for speedsters. Gotta love all the Back to the Future references in one post:
- 88 mph
- Trooper McFly
- Flux capacitor
- Cost you some serious plutonium
Simply brilliant.
Here is the post.
Calera: Change the Cracker Barrel logo to “Please Wait”
With so many folks upset about the new Cracker Barrel rebrand, it was great to see the City of Calera’s social media team come up with a satirical response.
Their newly suggested logo? The two words: Please Wait.
Only a Cracker Barrel regular would come up with that alternative logo. It is part of the restaurant/general store’s modus operandi to keep you around to shop and sit in their rocking chairs.
Here is the post.
For additional giggles, here are a couple more of our favorite Instagram posts.
