There's a product being advertised in the US called the Slap Chop. It's a small kitchen gadget designed to easily chop small servings of food by slapping the top of a handle down on the food, which resides in a self-contained vessel. One of the demonstrations has the alleged inventor of this gadget chopping some nuts. During that segment of the commercial, what he means to say is:
You'll like how this chops nuts.
What is actually said is:
You'll like my nuts.
!!!
I wonder how that got past the audition... & how long it will be on tv before someone does anything about it. Sometime in the past year there was a food company that sold these snacks that had nuts plus other things in them like dried fruit, pretzel bits, m & m's, etc. in a variety of mixes & flavors. Their tagline ended with something like: "...an enjoyable nut snack." *snicker* That ad ran for a couple of months before 'nut' was edited out of it. Now it's no fun anymore. :(
