I love the Business 2.O 101 dumbest moments in business. It make me laugh to see the dumb things people do. It also inspires me. I mean really I do can’t possibly be as dumb. Right?

Oh, like “monosodium benzoate” tastes so much better…Mick Woods purchases a package of cooked ham made by British food processor H.R. Hargreaves & Son. After reviewing the complete list of ingredients, which includes “dog shit,” he loses his appetite.Hargreaves fires the employee responsible for the prank and begins a recall of the mislabeled packages.

Close your office door and check out the 10 Grand Prize winners. You’ll laugh.

Jocelyn - You’re scaring me.
