'Oh, what happened here?' M&S shopper bemused by mistake which reached supermarket shelves

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

One of Britain's best-loved brands has been taken to task after an unfortunate mistake on one of its products. Marks & Spencer is famous for selling items perceived to be a cut above those from other retailers - particularly its food and drink.

But the company has come under fire on social media after an error somehow made its way onto supermarket shelves. Tom Hourigan, a senior journalist at BBC News, noticed the gaffe on a bottle of soda water being sold by the luxury supermarket.

The bottle's label included the tagline 'PERFECT ON IT'S OWN OR AS A MIXER'. Tom highlighted the apostrophe in 'it's', which should not have been used.

Hate this." And @battaner joked: "It's now 'Mark's & Spencer'." The retailer was quick to respond to Tom's tweet and pick up on the error.
