This is a genuine marketing mistake from Ireland
This was actually sold in the supermarkets - until they twigged!!

One of the baby food manufacturers had to remove bottles of its food from the shelfs of some african countries. Because of the high level of illitiracy in parts of africa most manufacturers put pictures of the contents on the label (like peas for tinned peas). This manufacturer was new to africa and did not realise this so used their standard label. The problem was it had a picture of a baby on the label. The local were horrified.

i love those mistakes!

i heard on the radio this morning how the term "uefa cup" came about when newsreaders realised that they couldn't use the previous acronym "ufa" before the word "cup"... that made me laugh too!
