A couple of days ago, I travelled on an Iberia flight for the first time in years. It was a little more up-market than the discount airlines I’ve flown with recently and even in tourist class those who bought snacks from the trolley were provided with individual place mats for the fold-down tables.
When I declined to give mine up as rubbish, I suppose the steward thought I wanted a souvenir. In fact I wanted to add it to my collection of bad advertising and extraneous apostrophes.
Chuckle… Chuckle…

The strange thing about Coke is that, after “Bite The Wax Tadpole” – they may be doing it “ironically” so that people will blog about them.
The sheer amount of urban legends around Coke would make it profitable to make some more up.

I was in two minds about whether to post this as it was more publicity for them, but the pedant in me overcame my qualms.

Oooops! They did it again (from two days ago). Iberia/CocaCola, similar individual place mat with “Hydration during the flight” instructions: “Pour de liquid carefully into a glass”.
PS. I also kept both mats as a souvenir! ;-)

I think I’m flying with them again at the end of the month: I look forward to seeing what they come up with then!

It’s surprising that this happens as British Airways are increasingly owning a larger share of the company…

I think I’m actually more surprised when a non-native writer confuses “its” and “it’s” as they had to study and learn these things whereas for native speakers language “just happens”.
