Joe Grady’s firsthand recollection.

Star Shower at Walmart U.S. stores
November 21–27, 2015 · Walmart Week 43 · Retail sales dollars

On September 25, 2026, Joe Grady replied to AJ Khubani’s request to document this milestone. Grady stated that he had edited the proposed confirmation below. The following excerpt reproduces that edited statement, including his permission to quote it.

In 2015, I was the Walmart Vice President overseeing Department 82, which carried Star Shower from TeleBrands Corporation.

Based on my recollection, during Walmart Week 43—November 21–27, 2015, including Thanksgiving and Black Friday—Star Shower was the number-one-selling item by retail sales dollars at Walmart U.S. stores. The top items were always bananas and milk but that week, ranked by sales dollars, Star Showers was the top item in the entire company.

1. Star Shower
2. Bananas
