From a sign at a fast food restaurant:
"Burger and Peach Shake: $2.99"
My first reaction to this as I drove by was ewwww. A shake made with burgers? Of course I knew that the sign meant it cost $2.99 for two items--a shake and a burger. This is a classic ambiguous sentence (or partial sentence). It would have been better to advertise like this:
"Peach Shake and a Burger: $2.99"

Or 'Burger and a Peach Shake' would work just ask well. That way burger is still first.
