I bought a 4 pack of Special Brew this morning.  
Hey, thats normal for breakfast you may say, but wait!..This pack was unlike any I’d seen before. Each can had it’s label printed upside-down, but worse, in an attempt to retail these rejects as ‘grade A’ products, Carlsberg had disguised this error by putting the tops on the bottom and the bottoms on the top! OK, it may look the part, but the public ain’t fooled.  
Get your act together Carlsberg, we aint all brain dead yet.

No. You accidently got some cans that were intended for the Australian market.
