Here in lovely Tucson, AZ, there's an intersection nicknamed Five Points where Stone Ave, Sixth Ave and 18th Street all meet. There are a few billboards at this intersection, one of which was recently advertising Burger King with a BIG GIANT picture of a cheeseburger.
One day, Animalia, sitting in the car at a red light with her Daht, asked him what it was. "A BIG GIANT HAMBURGER!" he said. She stored that information in her brain. A few days later, she told me that it was "A BIG GIANG HANGURBER!" and then said "Let's tell Daddy. We can eat one." That night we had turkey burgers. "Yum!" she said, "I LOVE HANGURBERS!" And everytime we passed through that intersection she'd point out the BIG GIANT HANGURBER.
Now the billboard has been replaced and she misses the Burger King ad. She says the "BIG GIANT HANGURBER went ba-bye." The Safeway billboard just isn't as appealing to tiny people with its big red bow and a billion price tags advertising new lower prices.
Good job on that ad, Burger King. Though I must say that toddlers are easy-- when she asks for hangurbers, we don't actually have to take her there. A veggie burger will still suffice.

Baby Celia used to say hangurber, too. Is it not the best?
