Reading through the Heinz's ketchup bottle, I noticed that their tagline, Grown Not Made could mean something totally different and opposite to it's intended meaning i.e. Grown Not, Made and Grown, Not Made.
Questions:
- Is grown not made correct English (although it's not necessary)?
- Can that statement, as mentioned above, have two different and totally opposite meanings?
Best Answer
The statement “Grown Not, Made” I believe is not grammatically correct. The opposite of “Grown, Not Made” would be “Not Grown, Made”. I.e., “not” is placed before the word to be negated, which is why the original statement without the comma works.
