His mother, Cara Koscinski organized a graduation party for her 18-year-old son. For the occasion, she ordered a cake online from her nearest grocery store, Publix, which lets customers build their own cakes complete with a customized inscription, which they enter into a message box marked cake message option.
Carefully, she typed in the words she wanted on the cake: Congrats Jacob! Summa Cum Laude class of 2018.
Publixs online system was unhappy with the word cum.

(16,646 posts)It's kinda funny considering it's Publix. First time I ever saw a Publix, I laughed. I wasn't quite sure how to pronounce it and I jokingly called it "Pube licks".

My daughter was valedictorian and and a GPA that was similar.
She got one B in her entire high school career - and that was because I had just had a near fatal
heart attack and she became the surrogate mom to her siblings.
