[[Two men meeting in a shop]]
Man #1: Crandall, didn't you start a winery? How's that going?
Man #2: Terrible! I thought I had an innovative marketing hook, but I worry it's working against me somehow.
[[Zoom in on wine bottle. It reads "The Crandall Winery, 100% Mayonnaise-Free Merlot"]]
Man #1: ...Why do you call that out specifically? Isn't all wine mayonnaise-free?
Man #2: Of course! But nobody bothers to mention it! I thought that could be my edge! But maybe you're right. I should probably rethink the positioning.
Man #1: Might not be a bad idea.
