Multipack, can, not, to, be, sold, separately, comma, period.

Says it has vegetable extracts
Gadonymous
Grammatically speaking "can not to be sold" rang really wrong
Gadonymous
I read it as "can't to be sold"

It literally means the can
Gadonymous
Because you are seeing can as a verb while it is a noun. It was my initial mistake
Sheber
But it's right tho the multipack can literally means the can
Gadonymous
Ugh... English !
goddamnitletmepickaname
Nowhere in that sentence would a comma be correct
Gadonymous
Couldn't we use one after the can to ease the understanding ?
blackstoned
Or after multipack. But he's correct in that adding a comma would be unnecessary in English grammar

I don't see the mistake, but feel free to explain.
Reizvoll
can not to be...lol took me second to catch it
Gadonymous
Didn't realize that "multipack can" was the subject and not subject + verb
nota4chandumper
It should be multipack can,
ThatRaccoonGuy
I figured that's what OP was going for, but the way it's written can technically be correct.
Gadonymous
It is, it just sounds weird ..,
