The first thing men tend to do when marketing to women is think “pink.” But is that wise? The simple answer is ….no. For one, as we have mentioned time and again all women are not alike. That could not be more true than when it comes to color preferences. To draw general stereotypes about color can be dangerous.

In response to the immediate backlash from hundreds on social media, the ad was quickly removed along with all of the irate comments and replaced with an apology. Or rather, their “first” attempt at an apology: We would like

Women control 93% of the $1 trillion spent on food purchases in the U.S. annually, and they are chomping away at Big Foods.

Perhaps just a bit before it’s time, Six Degrees shut down in 2001, just three years before “The Facebook”
