We’ve all had our share of workplace blunders. Perhaps you mistakenly called your supervisor by the wrong name or got caught making a joke that didn’t quite land, like photocopying your backside for a colleague’s desk. We’ve all been there. But few mishaps compare to the one that led to a pregnancy test advertisement becoming an internet sensation.
In 2011, Dutch brand Predictor released a pregnancy test ad that quickly gained traction online after social media user Alex Johnson shared it with the caption, “How is she shocked about being pregnant? LMAO.” And honestly, who could blame him?
The ad features a couple looking ecstatic, presumably in reaction to a positive pregnancy test. However, here’s where the hilarity ensues: the woman appears to be well into her third trimester already! The absurdity of the image paired with the tagline “When you need to know” sent Twitter into a frenzy, racking up over 19,000 retweets and a flurry of witty comments from users.
One can only imagine the conversation that followed in the Predictor office. Someone should really have a word with that guy about basic biology. Yet, despite the oversight, it’s hard not to chuckle. After all, we all want to be certain when it comes to the monumental step of bringing a new life into the world. But seriously—come on!
