I put this in the humor section, although it's not a joke. In fact, it's a bit troublesome. Lately, for one reason or another, I have shown a tendency to misread all sorts of things. It could be a headline in a newspaper, something in a forum post, or, as in the following examples, it could be a food label that causes confusion, disgust, or hilarity.
Example 1 (actual occurrence):
I pick up a jar of sauerkraut, not because I'm a fan, but because I want to see what else is in there. First ingredient listed? "Garbage." I almost laughed out loud. It said of course "cabbage."
Example 2 (also actual occurrence):
I open my fridge and look at an uncooked chicken that rests peacefully in its clear body bag. A red label proclaims in large black letters "Knacker's Special." Upon closer examination, it actually says "Manager's Special."
I think I may be a bit stressed or something.
