Yesterday, Wednesday and for many Wednesdays prior, I walked to the PTG. The route takes me past the Chicago Chocolate Company Café . I’ve spoken of feeling
Five weeks ago, the CCCC began advertising White Chocolate Wednesday, offering 15% off White Chocolate. This advertisement is in the form of a chalkboard sandwich sign. For the past four weeks, the sign has been worth notice.
Week 1: It’s White Chocolate Wenesday 15% off White Chocolate
Week 2: White Chocolate Wensday 15% off White Chocolate
Week 3: Come in for White Chocolate Wenisday 15% off White Chocolate
Week 4: Wennsday is White Chocolate day-come in for 15% off White Chocolate
The temptation to enter the Chicago Chocolate Company Café is even greater-not to taste-but to tell whomever is responsible for the chalkboard sandwich sign that Wednesday is spelled:
W-E-D-N-E-S-D-A-Y.
OMG, that would drive me insane! Of course I'd already be insane for passing up the white chocolate, that's my downfall.
ReplyDeleteI fear I'd be compelled to go inside and speak to someone about that misspelled sign. Either that or carry some chalk and correct it myself!
ReplyDeleteNo way would I be resisting 15% off white chocolate. Not even on Wennsday.
The white chocolate doesn't tempt me -but illiterate chocolate makers? I'd have to say something.
ReplyDeleteLMAO! That would drive me bat shit. I'm almost certain I would have gone in and informed them of the correct spelling.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for having the strength of will to resist the temptation. :)
Maybe it's a marketing technique....... How many customers step in to tell them how to spell Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI think I might try to barter a spelling lesson for a generous sample.
ReplyDeleteUm, being a heterosexual male, I'd avoid "Wenisday" like the plague. Gives a whole knew ick dimension to white chocolate.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be a ploy! Nobody could be that daft, surely!
ReplyDelete(Unless there is something dodgy in the white chocolate, which is dumbing-down the staff.)
