Peppa Pig Marketing FAIL Goes Viral

Peppa Pig character is looking a bit different in this latest promo that has gone viral online.

Reddit user WindTheFrog shared a photo of a yoghurt label promoting Peppa Pig after spotting something rather unusual, shares Yahoo 7.

“Didn’t know Peppa Pig World bordered Springfield nuclear power station. Really hoping that is an actual third leg,” the user captioned the post.

The unusual image of the Peppa Pig character “Susie Sheep” was sporting a third eye and rather awkwardly placed extra leg.

“At first I thought this was just the join in the label… but isn’t that off to the right. Is the poor creature actually printed like that,” one person commented.

“That’s quite disturbing,” another said.

“Damn, Susie Sheep is hung,” wrote another, referring to the ‘extra leg’.

Is it just a printing error, or a sneaky ploy to help promote the brand?

When they are old enough toddlers pick up differences. If they have contact with real animals it could be very disturbing for them. It may or may not take longer for other toddlers to notice it.
Some kids have books with the pictures of the characters in them. They notice differences even if it is only the colour. Well, mine has.

hahaha, that is just a funny error. I wouldn’t have even thought anything ‘rude’ at that. Shows where their minds are for thinking that.

Oh well, just a wee error in the design, not a big deal. I would just show it to my kids and have a wee laugh.

Possibly just a printing error – no big deal.

  Not sure why one comment reads ‘quite disturbing’. I just think it is an oops moment and no big deal.

It looks just a bit too perfectly placed to be an accident.
