While it may be easy to say marketing has everyone brainwashed, seemingly brand management is working in this case. On Wheel Of Fortune fans quickly picked up on a striking similarity between one contestant’s outfit and a highly recognizable brand. When Pat Sajak began his normal contestant introductions, everything was going as usual. Notably, Mollie, a CrossFit instructor from Minnesota, was smiling big with a bubbly personality. Then Pat mentions she is a “fitness guru.” Then Mollie tells the host, “I love hyping up my athletes in the gym.” Additionally, she discusses how she can deadlift an impressive 360 pounds. In like fashion, Pat jokes, “Wow if I lifted 360 pounds, I’d be dead too!”

WOF Fans Quickly Notice A Correlation

But the Internet wasn’t seemingly as impressed by Mollie’s heavy lifting. During the Wheel Of Fortune introductions, social media was active, but not about Mollie’s talents. Instead, Mollie got ragged on for her deceiving clothing choice. While it was unintentional, she wore a cobalt blue vest that unmistakably resembled Walmart branding. Unfortunately, with the WOF nametag on display, the outfit made her look like she had strong ties to the easily recognizable chain.

Sadly, Mollie’s fate ended up with $0 after it had been up to $1000. Although Mollie didn’t take home the prize during Wheel Of Fortune, she gave fans plenty to talk about. However, Walmart is highly recognized because it employs over 2.1 million associates across the world. Likewise, fans have made other correlations about contestants’ outfits in the past. Previously, a contestant was likened to the fictional holiday character Yukon Cornelius. Additionally, last season, another player was thought to resemble the Six Flags guy.
