Real Simple, a magazine one Time Inc. editor once described as “the dumbest magazine ever printed” lived up to its reputation in their December issue when, in an article titled 50 Gifts Under $50 For Mothers, Sisters, Best Friends, they told 1.9 million readers that a Nixon Vega Watch was available at Target for $40. It’s not. They ran this retraction online:
Unfortunately, this item is not available for $40 at Target, as printed in the magazine. Real Simple readers can purchase it exclusively for $50 ($10 below the retail price) at nixonnow.com.
Now, Real Simple’s screw-up becomes a holiday gift savings for all of us. Thanks.
