Food and Whine
Really Daily Candy?
"Food and Whine" is the best tag line you could come up with for a much needed product like Select Wisely cards that assist those of us with food allergies to dine out safely when away from home?
I’m all for witty prose, bon mots, being punny, even really well done snark. But this para is none of those.
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive to the poor choice of words.
Maybe.
But I know that allergies are not about being whiny, needy or complainy. For many, for MILLIONS, it is literally about life or death.
So Daily Candy, I’m not telling you how to write your pieces or edit your freelancers. All I’m saying is you’ve lost some subscribers. And in this market, I would imagine you’d want to hold on to them, not drive them away with poorly worded, unfunny product placements.
