Bloomingdale's has admitted making a mistake after backlash from a recent ad in its holiday catalog.

The ad features a male and a female with the words, "Spike your best friend's eggnog when they're not looking."

The suggestive inference ignited a firestorm on social media. Thousands took to Twitter condemning the ad, saying it encourages date rape.

Bloomingdale's quickly issued a statement, saying, "In reflection of recent feedback, the copy we used in our recent catalog was inappropriate and in poor taste. Bloomingdale's sincerely apologizes for this error in judgement."

Bloomingdale's would not comment on any plans to retract the catalog.
