I had a mortifying moment at a trade show last year. A woman at a booth was wearing an orange sweater with block splotches, identical to Fred Flintstone. At these shows, people wear loud clothes, try to capture attention. It wasn’t outside the realm of possibility… Their branding was orange. Before I could take a mental moment and think, “consider that maybe she’s not intentionally trying to look like Fred Flintstone,” I blurt out, “Fred Flintstone, awesome!”
To which she responds, “Who?”
