    I've been looking everywhere for "mosquito froggers"

    I can only ever find mosquito foggers.

    It makes me sad that someone either with a job (an employee) or running a business (the store's owner) is being publicly mocked for a simple mistake while out doing their best to earn a living. What's simple to some is difficult to others. Those same people without the best spelling or grammar skills can have some of the most incredible skills in other areas, including kindness and compassion.

    That's what makes Amarica Grate! Private mocking is no fun at all.

    Or possibly the sympathy angle...

    I love a good game of Mosquito Froggers.

    A sturdy wall, a cloud of mosquitos and a bucket of frogs. Chuck a frog and squash those skeeters.

    I believe that is an actual advertising gimmick. IIRC; grammar & spelling errors, things like missing letters or backward letters tend to attract a readers attention, thus getting the message read.
