Apostrophe catastrophe, # 12

Here's the text from a pop-up (with a rather nice picture, which you can see by following the link) that popped up at me last week:

This issue has arisen before with kids (Apostrophe Catastrophe, # 6). The omission of the apostrophe from kids recipes makes it seem as if the kids are the key ingredient, a sense rather consolidated by the name of the application. Cooking with vegetables, cooking with spices, cooking with kids…

The application of the adjective amazing is not unambiguous either.
