NathanSpicy Heinz Ketchup Ad
Huge companies can sometimes falter. A German was redirected to a hardcore porn website because he scanned the QR code that was present at the back of a Heinz ketchup bottle. The company was responsible for ending the website and then an even saucier organization soon took over the domain name. Was this an unfortunate incident or was he too lucky?
Cadbury’s Easter Egg Ad
We should have all learned from the Starbucks’ Christmas cup that made so many people angry. So back in 2017, Cadbury had an idea to get rid of the word ‘Easter’ from its annual egg hunt and this was followed by mass criticism. The Prime Minister of England Theresa May even had something to say about this whole strategy calling it ‘ridiculous’.
Food + Misogyny = PR Disaster
When an IHOP community manager decided to make a joke, it was certainly not well received. We hope the lesson was learned. There were various people who found offense in the way the joke was delivered. This message was obviously removed after so many people complained about it. This should be used as a warning for all those who keep passing insensitive jokes and comments online.
Hit The Hay Or…
When you first look at this tweet, there is not much to speculate about. This tweet would have been harmless if it had been posted some other time. But it was unfortunate for the Tesco’s intern community manager because it was posted during the time of the products-made-out-of-horse-meat scandal. Timing is everything and this tweet here proves just that.
Worst Icebreaker
This post was actually meant to take a jab at Jack The Ripper. Unfortunately, this was not done the right way. Having said that, this is The London Dungeon so it did not come as much of a surprise. There was an apology posted which was meant to address this issue but then even that was still done in a poor manner. Some people just never learn.
