I also understand it as "4 for $20". So the "ea" is possibly the kind
of mistake
people make when they have a routine job and they didn't think
but just acquired-reflexed.

BTW what is "Bottom Yogurt"?

It's "fruit on the bottom yogurt." In the olden days, all yougurt came
that way -- a base of fruit preserves topped with plain yogurt (and
not loaded with sugar, either), totaling 8 ounces (not the 6 oz. cup
they sell nowadays). You stirred it together. Nowadays most "yogurt"
is prehomogenized and sweeter than ice cream.
