Jeanine recently took over the family cheese business producing and selling Limburger cheese. As part of her plan to modernize and expand the business, Jeanine began by updating the branding and advertising with the phrase 'The Smelliest Limburger of them all!' on all the packaging and promotional material. But Jeanine wasn't going to just wait for opportunities to fall in her lap and she began meeting with the owners and managers of various food shop chains in the hopes that some may be interested in buying her cheeses wholesale. From this she was able to negotiate a lucrative deal with 'Nice Foods' to sell them a 'Christmas' themed cheese to be provided in the shape of a tree and wrapped in red wrappers. However, after the agreement was made, Jeanine found she was unable to find a source for the red wrappers for the cheese and so purchased purple ones instead (deciding that purple was an adequately Christmassy colour). Unfortunately for Jeanine, things started to take a turn for a worse. A catering business that had a contract for the regular supply of cheese wanted the contract rescinded. They claimed that the description that it was the 'The Smelliest Limburger of them all' was a misrepresentation since they had discovered a far smellier Limburger from another supplier. Shortly after hearing from the catering company, the delivery company that she general used called her explaining that her delivery to 'Nice Foods' had been rejected because the cheese had been provided 'in the wrong packaging'.
