Normally, I don't stop to read advertising in a magazine but I couldn't help but notice this headline: "Everyone likes spinach in their omelettes, except people who don't." Of course, I instantly thought of the replacement, "Everyone likes spinach in their omelettes, except people who died."
It's on page 32 of the September 18 issue of Fortune. The Federal Drug Administration first issued a warning about e coli in spinach on September 14. So there's no way that you could blame anyone involved in the production of the ad for using spinach in an advertisement. But the interesting thing is try to relate the headline to a marketing message and figure out who the advertiser is. Commenters can reveal the answer to that question below if you want to, but feel free to guess if you don't go and figure it out first. I'll add the answer to this post in a few days. And then you'll see whether someone should have been fired for the entire ad campaign and it's complete irrelevance to the brand!
