As a follow up to our last article in 2015 titled "5 Typos That Cost Millions", we thought we'd give you 5 more...Click here for tips & ideas on your promo products.

We've all experienced embarrassment as a result of a typo, particularly when arguing with someone and they choose to rebut your point by pointing out your grammatical errors - UBER FRUSTRATING. But what if a small typo, that you made, resulted in the loss of MILLIONS of dollars, let's take a look at 5 more extremely unfortunate typos.

1. The Half-A-Million Dollar Typo

An unsuspecting Ebay-er, listed his 150 year old bottle of Allsopp's Arctic Ale for auction hoping to maximize return on surely a very treasured antique. Sadly, for this poor chap he missed out a ''P'' and listed a bottle of Allsop's Arctic Ale - meaning that all the die-hard ale collectors didn't find it. All except one who purchased the product for $304 and sold it the next day for $503,300 !!

2. Eternal Damnation

Even the heavenly father is not immune to fat fingers and typing errors! Circa 1631, Baker Book House (based in London) had to rewrite the 10 Commandments when someone noticed something not quite right with the 7th directive - ''Thou Shalt Commit Adultery'' didn't quite sit well with Parliament who ordered all copies of the book - which they started to refer to as 'the Wicked Bible' - be destroyed along with a GBP3000 fine to the publisher. Ooops !

3.  MICHAEL SCOTT MOMENT

Everyone remembers Michael Scott's (The Office) ridiculous golden ticket idea, well turns out - it actually happened to someone. Yep.

In 2007, a local car dealership in the small Alien ridden town of Roswell, New Mexico were struggling to keep up sales and decided to revamp their marketing to attract new customers. They would mail out 50,000 scratch cards, one of which would reveal a $1000 cash prize to one lucky person.  OBVIOUSLY that's not what happened, otherwise why would I be telling you?

Unfortunately for them, the marketing company behind the scratch cards made EVERY SINGLE SCRATCH CARD a winner with a grand total payout of $50 million. WOW. Unfortunately with falling sales and a terrible marketing team, the car dealership was unable to honor the prize and instead offered all winners a $5 Walmart gift card... still probably $250k they cant afford.

4. An Exotic Vacation Not Suitable for the Whole family....

An unsuspecting Sonoma-based travel agent, Banner Travel Services, placed an ad in the yellow pages (back in 1988) advertising their Exotic Holiday packages. Sadly when it came to print, the directory had listed the business as offering Erotic Holiday packages.

Well, you can imagine the phone calls the business was getting off the back of that ad. Sadly for the owner, her reputation was shot and all her elderly clientele sought to avoid the company. Luckily the publisher offered to refund her the $250 a month listing fee, but she decided to sue anyway. For $10 million !!!

5. NYC Transport Learns an Important Lesson...

Back in 2013, NYC Transport Authority made a bit of a boo boo. That being, they had to recall 160,000 maps and posters that informed passengers of a fare increase, from $4.50 - $5 on pay-per-ride cards. Unfortunately, the typo error listed the new price as $4.50 - oops.

Statistics show it only took them 100,000 rides on 6 trains to make up the difference.
