A few million women went shopping for a new dress on Tuesday. Some of them bought blue dresses, but more of them went for the perfect shade of red.
In fact, the red dresses were so popular that they almost sold out! And people everywhere have been comparing notes and congratulating each other on what a great deal they managed to get on those gorgeous new threads.
There is only one problem. A good portion of those shoppers seemed to think that they bought a purple dress. And they are super excited about how that purple dress is going to change their life. They just know that they are going to look fabulous in it. And when the perfect ocassion presents itself, they are going to go looking through their closets for the purple dress, eager to show it off to the whole world.
But there won't be a purple dress. Just a bright red one.
"Where did this red dress come from?" they will wonder. "I could have sworn this dress was purple! I tried it on for size and everything-it was the most amazing shade of purple I have ever seen, just shy of being aubergine!"
But the store they bought the dress from doesn't accept returns. No refunds either. It was a final sale. And a whole heap of women are going to end up feeling pretty silly wearing a red dress with the new purple shoes they bought, in that perfect shade of aubergine.
