That was the headline I saw in a print ad for Jell-O.  I about fell out of my chair.  How the heck did something with so many typos make its way through the copy editors and into the magazine?

Turns out the entire ad is that way.  “Fun Things Up” is the promotion for Jell-O’s mix-ins brand.   Clever?  Or confusing?

    I’d say clever, since it caught your eye, but not the first time that phenomenon has been used! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typoglycemia

    The Ellen DeGeneres Show would love this. It’s sort of like “auto-correct.”
