Norway Star Haaland's Raccoon Friend Sells Out
14 Jul
Summary
- Erling Haaland purchased a taxidermied raccoon in Dallas.
- The raccoon, named Whiskey Raccoon, quickly sold out online.
- Haaland's visit also boosted sales of cowboy hats and shirts.
Following Norway's exit from the World Cup, star striker Erling Haaland returned home with a unique souvenir from his time in Dallas, Texas. Haaland visited Wild Bill's Western Store, where he purchased several items, including cowboy hats, exotic boots, a longhorn belt buckle, a "Y'all can kiss my Dallas" shirt, and a taxidermied raccoon holding a whiskey bottle.
This critter, now dubbed Whiskey Raccoon, became an instant online sensation. Shortly after Haaland's social media posts about the purchase, the item was listed as sold out on the store's website. The store owner noted that Haaland's visit had triggered a massive surge in sales, nearly depleting their stock of the popular shirt and attracting new customers.
Haaland engaged with fans by asking for name suggestions for his new companion, with options like Cowboy, Ranger, and TEX being considered. The store continues to see high demand, with a similar alcohol-wielding squirrel also showing low stock.
