Shame on you Tylenol, shame!
May 15, 2009 by Shannon
Oh my goodness gracious. Tylenol needs to put their advertising agency on probation.


You’d think the company would have been enormously grateful. Or you’d at least think the customer would get more than a canned response. But that’s exactly what I got:
Thank you for expressing your displeasure with one of our ads for Extra Strength TYLENOL® acetaminophen products.
All of our ads are researched thoroughly for consumer acceptance, but it is difficult to produce advertising that appeals to all tastes. Please accept our apology if you were offended.
We appreciate your taking the time to share your comments with us.

Apparently it is also difficult to produce advertising that correctly spells a product’s brand name. I wasn’t so much offended as I was appalled.

Love the look of your blog and the fact that you have a section for typos. Found you via the Adrian & Sabine website. Best wishes on your new SAHM adventure. Enjoy every minute. I’m on my way back into the workplace, or trying, anyway.
