Delta and Coca-Cola are apologizing over in-flight napkins deemed by some as “creepy”.
“Be a little more old school. write down your number & give it to your plane crush. you never know…” read the napkins which accompanied drinks for Delta passengers.
Creepy or playful? On the back of the napkins included an area to jot down your name and number. The flirty message blew up over social media after several passenge s on Delta flights posted their existence. Some thought it was hilarious, others remarked it wasn’t a good look with one passenger calling it “unintentionally creepy”
Delta has since removed the napkins and issued an apology to “anyone we may have offended.”
“We rotate Coke products regularly as part of our brand partnership, but missed the mark with this one. We are sorry for that and began removing the napkins from our aircraft in January.”
Twitter for the most part disagreed with the need for an apology and thought the promotion was pretty creative.
