Martini-Drinking Pink Elephant
With his bubblegum pink hue, oversized black glasses, and a classic martini glass clasped in his trunk, the 12-foot-tall elephant in Fortville, Indiana, has become both a friendly greeter to those visiting Elite Beverages and a local landmark since the 1980s. Especially since the advent of social media, it has become a favorite stop for selfies, drawing people from all over who are eager to snap a shot with this one-of-a-kind, cocktail-loving colossus. The pachyderm is a humorous nod to the old phrase “seeing pink elephants”—an expression once linked to tipsy imaginations. Around various holidays, like Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day, locals will dress the elephant up in seasonal garb.
