Truth In Advertising?
Last Christmas some good friends of mine gave me a very nice desk accessories set for my cubicle at work. I really appreciated it. Here’s what the box looks like…
Nice, huh? Well, just before I opened the box to remove the comments, I noticed the fine print in the lower left-hand corner of the front of the box. You can’t make it out from the above photo so I took a closeup…
What? No accessories in the box of desk accessories? Truth in advertising? Was the box empty? Devoid of accessories? Well, actually no. The desk accessories were indeed inside and they are extremely nice. Whomever designed the box, including the print, was obviously referring to the accessories to the accessories (i.e. — paper clips, paper, pens, etc.) but the unintentional humor was noted.
