I was making myself a sandwich for lunch when I noticed something that made me do a double-take. So, I grabbed my cell phone camera and snapped the photo above. There is a problem with this photo. Well, scratch that, the photo itself is fine, but something IN the photo is not. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? If no one figures it out, I'll tell you later today or tomorrow.

Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
EASY ONE: It should be "Whole grain" (grain singlar)...not "Whole grains"
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Is the error with "16 Grams Whole Grains per Slice"? Should it be "16 Grams Whole Grain per slice"?
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Does this have to do with healthful vs healthy?
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
AH-HA!!! BINGO, BK got it!! Yes, this is a common grammatical error: healthy implies well, in good health, not sick..., I would hope the loaf of bread isn't sick!!! The correct use of the word would be HEALTHFUL.... For instance, "an apple is a healthy snack." Weelll...the sentence is technically accurate, the apple probably doesn't have a cold or the mumps...but the correct usage would be "an apple is a HEALTHFUL snack.".......so the package should say "HEALTHFUL BREAD."
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
I think it's suppose to be whole grain, not whole grains per slice.
Could be wrong. :)
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Multigrain is one word.
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
I thought maybe the bread wasn't sliced. It looks like it's not. BUT then you said it was a grammatical error, so that can't be it!
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Nature's
would be short for Nature is
Like can't is short for can not
It should be Natures pride
and I'm the accountant, not the english major :)
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Okay, all good guesses, and you are all focused on the apostrophe in nature's....but that is not the issue....I'll give it until morning to see if someone can point out the error....
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Nature's would mean belonging to Nature, not Nature is.
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Could it be the 16 % grams of whotever it says on the label?
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Not seeing anything - but we don't buy much bread and if we do it's the cheap stuff. The 100% natural thing, anyone can make that claim - there's not much rules regulating some of those words.
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
If it's 100 percent natural, how can it be "new?"
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
No process bread is 100% natural...
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
We need a hint
Re: What's The Problem Here? Can You Guess?
Okay, here's a hint: you are all focusing on the wrong thing. There is a blatant grammatical error. Now, we've talked plenty about grammar here and I don't hold everyone here - including myself - to a terribly high standard, but on a packaged product...someone didn't proofread this....
