"It's hard to believe that one drop of Krazy Glue can hold 2,000 lbs., which is why we set out to prove it with the Krazy Kristmas Tree," said Victor Misawa, senior vice president of marketing, Writing & Creative Expression, Newell Brands. "Rather than have gifts placed underneath it, our tree had gifts hung on it using the strength of Krazy Glue. Our hope is that when users see it, they will know it's the real deal. Krazy Glue can accomplish amazing things!"

The Krazy Kristmas Tree, which was on full display in Liberty Plaza in New York City on Dec. 13, donned a plethora of unbelievably heavy items weighing up to 240 lbs. including an arcade game, a dune buggy, a sled, and more. Unlike normal trinkets that are hung on trees with hooks and ribbons, this crazy tree's trimmings used Krazy Glue to instantaneously turn gifts into oversized ornaments. Passersby in New York stopped to observe the spectacle and witness first-hand the power of Krazy Glue.

In the spirit of holiday giving, Krazy Glue has donated all of the presents that were hung from the Krazy Kristmas Tree to Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City.

"We were excited when Krazy Glue asked us to be a part of this special cause marketing opportunity and offered to donate all of the presents on the tree to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of New York City," said Chief Marketing Officer Wendy DeMarco. "The kids in our program were so surprised to not only receive their 'krazy holiday gifts,' but to see them hanging from the tree  with Krazy Glue. You don't see a bicycle hanging from a tree every day!"
