Every time I work a Bills Sunday I think about the time I was working during a game, checked the score, announced it to a coworker, and then a customer cried “I came in here to get away from the Bills!”

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask
A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch: 
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's	  	
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."
