Protect your family – and your turkey – this holiday.
Whole Foods grocery chain has teamed up with Progressive insurance company in what might be the strangest combination that will appear this Thanksgiving – barring your aunt bringing her seafoam salad this year.
The pair came together to roll out the first-ever Thanksgiving Turkey Protection Plan, which will protect you and your loved ones from eating a bad meal. Or at least an “overcooked, undercooked, burnt [or] dry” turkey, according to Whole Foods’ website.
