I was equally puzzled. The spelling is on the packaging in the picture they uploaded.

Autocorrect, probably?

That’s what I’m thinking. Lincoln Park is a real place — I think it’s in Chicago? And it predates the band. The band is most likely named after it. So they changed the spelling. If you have an iPhone, the autocorrect is brutal. I’m not saying Android is better, but it doesn’t autocorrect iPhone to “advertise.” iPhone does that to Android. Have to tap it out like a caveman. (I use both. I’m good with both. I talk shit about both.)
