When they started selling baby food in Africa they used the same packaging as in the US, i.e. with a picture of a baby on the label. Sales flopped and they soon realised that in Africa companies typically place pictures of contents on their label due to the high rates of illiteracy. I'm not making this one up. I'll lie about a ton of stuff but never about baby food or Africa. Don’t forget about Gerber baby food and their mistake in Africa.

It's true isn't it. I have yet to be impregnated by my Parker Pen. The Bic on the other hand has knocked me up more times than I can count? What’s wrong with the tag line from Parker Pens?
