Windsor, ON – Matt Foster, aged 35, of Windsor, Ontario who holds a family game night record of 371 consecutive Jenga victories over friends and family had a\u00a0decidedly bad experience while grocery shopping this past weekend.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0As Foster entered the grocery store he paused at the\u00a0pop-display pyramid\u00a0to apply his Jenga skills to retrieving a case of Coca-Cola when things went\u00a0awry.

Jenga is\u00a0a popular\u00a0game where players take turns removing one block at a time from a tower constructed of 54\u00a0blocks and is a favourite at the Foster household.\u00a0 “Being so good at Jenga I was very confident I could pull a middle case from near the bottom. I’ve done it at the kitchen table at home a hundred times with the blocks” Foster said amid the carnage of Coca-Cola and Diet Coca-Cola fridge mates. “I have been on such a hot streak playing Jenga\u00a0I was really sure I could pull this off but I guess I misjudged things” he added.<\/p>\n

Bystanders report that for a moment Foster’s withdrawal of the pop case seemed to go fine as he pulled out a case from near the bottom of the pyramid.\u00a0 As Mr. Foster held the case above his head imitating a Stanley Cup trophy ceremony there was a rumbling sound and the display began to topple.<\/p>\n

No injuries were reported but the broken pickle jar clean-up on aisle five has\u00a0been put\u00a0on indefinite hold while workers prioritized the rebuilding of the Coca-Cola pyramid.\u00a0 “I’m going to stick to playing Operation from here on out” Mr. Foster\u00a0advised as he left the store.<\/p>\n
