What indeed was Bloomingdale’s thinking?

As usual, I interpreted the ad completely differently than everyone else, apparently.

I thought it was clear from the woman’s head being turned away as if laughing at a joke only she has knowledge of and the man’s vaguely confused/dazed look that the woman was implied to be the one having done the spiking. It never occurred to me that anyone in this particular ad would think the man had been the one slipping a mickey.

That doesn’t make it any better, though.

But everyone is talking about the ad so it worked, right?
