After Hurricane Katrina, the Ted's Frostop just off of Claiborne
Avenue found it's iconic giant root beer mug knocked off its pole
and perfectly upside down.
The owners, seeing an opportunity to make their Frostop unique
(and probably because of the cost), decided not to place the mug
back atop its pole. They've also made the upside-down mug as their
new logo and sell t-shirts that have the inverted mug printed on
them.
In 2007, the mug was repainted and restored, but still in the
upside down position with a brick planter underneath it for support
and protection.
