What was the disastrous mistake made by Gerber Foods when they started advertising baby food in Africa?

Yep, they used the same packaging that they used in the USA.
It showed a white baby and furthermore, in Africa at the time, very few people could read, so packaging showed what was in the jar.

Good guess but a pretty obvious mistake to make on their part

This is an 80 million year old fossil turtle called Archelon icthyos, the largest sea turtle that has yet been described, though a fresh water turtle, Stupendyms
grew even bigger. Archelon lived in a warm shallow sea that covered parts of the USA at that time and is a relative of the leatherback turtle.

Lola has had 5 hours outside today!!!! Brilliant. It was quite funny that he didn't seem to remember what to do with the grass until I sat with him and started plucking at it, then he started grazing and I should think he has a pretty full tummy now.
He has had enough of being outside now and I caught him balancing on a stone with head stretched over her enclosure staring at the door. As soon as I let him out he headed for his room. he has his way of being heard!

Morning all. It's 9:00am for me …I had a wonderful nights sleep, and I'd like to say I'm ready for the day but I'd be making that one up. I've had just 1cup of coffee and only washed my face!
Morning Ken hope you have a good Saturday!

Nice.
Tidgy, typically for Greeks, won't eat grass, it's all the weeds that she seeks out.
