If It Looks Like A Duck...

I found this picture hiding on my desktop, which I took at a cabin we were staying at for a certain couple's wedding.  Click to enbiggen.


In case you cannot read it, it says "Ashtray.  A smokin' great deal."  Which, in my opinion, is just weird.  This is obviously an ashtray.  Were the manufacturers tired of answering calls asking what their product is for?  And if your product needs to have a label explaining what it is, adding a marketing tag line seems less than productive.  Maybe Ford needs to make the all new "2021 Car: Gets you from here to there".
