IDK, I (my pre-marital days) like it.  

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."  -- Wayne Gretzky & Michael Scott

Back in college (80's), I had a flight & New Year's Eve would be in the air, so I put a bottle of champagne in my bag.  
A very, very attractive blond sat one seat over from me.  (Yes!!!)
She enjoyed the free champagne.  

Edit:  Had I had that napkin... I would have had a fake number.

A new club. Shot down at the mile high. 
My psyche wouldn't have needed that then.  Now days it would more likely be shot dead at home.
What a wonderful and cute promotion just in time for Valentine's day. Wonder what home wrecker in their PR dept thought it was a great idea to sign off on it??

I used to work for a multinational CPG company. Big and stodgy like a Delta or Coke.

Hell, we couldn't change the font on a box of cereal without getting consumer feed-back and 20 different internal approvals. 

One small, little focus group or online survey would have told them this is not an Einstein of an idea.

I was just thinking the same thing. We'll spend days debating the use of an oxford comma in a marketing piece. How does something like this get past any sort of reasonable discussion?
