Hams for Hanukkah!


Over the weekend New York's popular, luxury, city supermarket, Balducci's made a somewhat regrettable advertisement error. Since Hanukkah started on Tuesday, the market advertised their Ham, which was on sale as "Delicious for Hanukkah." Since ham, pork, as well as other pig products, cannot be eaten by Jewish dietary law, I wouldn't think you would try and reach out to customers who can't eat the product. Although it is an almost funny error, a lot of people may take offense to such a sign, they could take it as disrespect or mocking. As soon as the error was noted the signs were changed, and apology was posted on the company website as well as the company will be reviewing it's employee training.
