Gimme gimme "more"

I have all kinds of problems with this ad. To begin with, everyone knows chicken strips is two words. I mean, right?


But the funnier bit is what's circled. Quotes around "numbers" — don't look "directly" at them!! Three words: Spell it out. When numbers touch numbers and it looks awkward, you always spell it out!

And finally, what's a Swee Treat? Or is it Sweet Reat? Either way, I'm a bit concerned.

Thanks to K, who has apparently become an operative for YSV against his better judgment.

It just don't make no sense

Quick! Someone zap the little grammar bug in this software!


Thanks to Super R for the sighting.

Your sign is funny and must be posted

(Although I am slightly bothered by the use of 'everyday' as a noun, I'll let it slide. Or not.)

Maybe they got new placemats?

Or maybe the new management IS the renovation. So many possibilities ... I'm just happy they didn't use a hyphen with 'newly.' Always so tempting.
