A photo of a window display a large polar bear and a cardboard cut of Stanely Tucci went viral on Twitter and it’s made people realise that many of us actually have really weird window displays.
Twitter user, Bethany Rutter, tweeted the image with the caption: “A house near me has a big polar bear in the window that they used to dress up every day in first lockdown and now they’ve added... Stanley Tucci?”
The post received 27,000 likes and received a huge response from users who shared other windows they have seen with strange objects inside.
