Sometimes mangles appear in the supermarket queue next to me, as recently happened in Lidl… This mangle seems to arise from misunderstanding the name of the second added ingredient:
Peach and Passion. Fruit Yoghurt
Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).
