I didn't see it until I read your drawing. I wonder if general Americans get it?!
Sometimes advertisement can be intentionally funny "mistakes" to catch attention, I am not sure if this is the case.
"General Americans" will probably see it, but not be bothered by it. Only a small portion of people get bothered by things like this. Fortunately, we tend to find each other and commiserate!
Oh, and we argue back and forth with our British counterparts about American versus British spelling, grammar, and punctuation rules! Aren't we sad? :~D
Geez, Nutella on toast has been my survival food for nauseous mornings, but I never bothered to read the label. Thanks for pointing it out, FUNNY.
Fergoodnessakes, Arvay, what the heck are you doing reading the back of Nutella jars?? Did you already finish this month's issue of "MidAtmosphere Fluid Dynamics"?
And, btw, that doesn't sound like a particularly healthy breakfast. I mean, it sounds like a delicious breakfast, even one that I'd probably eat myself. But heavy on the sugar...
I can't believe you wrote them. Pwaahaahaaaaa!
I wonder if it's ok to blend or stir the glass of goo.
Oh and...
Tasty YET balanced breakfast
As if balanced breakfasts usually aren't tasty? Hmph!
I think it should be "tasty, yet balanced, breakfast" with commas, but I'm not one to niggle.
