Yeap: the punctuation.
In your case is the "." higher priority delimiter, so the "get six" belong to the eggs. So
- get a gallon of milk
- if the have eggs, get six.
Get a gallon of milk, if they have eggs, get six. Translates into
- get a gallon of milk
- if the have eggs, get six gallons of milk.

Exactly my thought!
He got the story wrong!

You clearly aren't spending long enough in QA - you missed the obvious recursion:
private List<Produce> shopping = new List<Produce>();
public void GetMilk(int count)
{
while (count > 0)
{
shopping.Add(new Milk());
if (shop.HasEggs()) GetMilk(6);
count--;
}
}
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

They only sell eggs in 12 and 18 packs where I shop. So does she mean 6 containers of 12 eggs?

Who the heck buys milk in gallons (or sells it that way, come to that)?

 Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not) but I'm pretty sure there's a 1000 millifeet in a foot, and 1000 yards in a kiloyard too. The basic units don't become any less arbitrary because you stick a predefined multiplier in front of them when you want something a bit bigger. And surely the farce by which we are now required to fly in the face of all logic and define a kB as literally 1000 bytes just because should prove that beyond all doubt. You can keep your measurements for the functionally innumerate. I'll die happy in the knowledge that throughout my life I was able to calculate in diverse number bases without the slightest trouble as a result of my education in proper units. They don't call them Imperial for nothing, you know!
Now if you don't mind, I have to take the dog for her half mile walk to buy a couple of pints of milk and a quarter pound of mushrooms. I hope they've moved that yard of sand that was blocking the path yesetrday!
Edit: oops, for got the point of this reply. It was the size of the 'portions' that I was referring to, not the units that they were measured in! Though, you probably got the latter point already!

Perhaps the person was using the more sensible metric system and didn't know how much a gallon was?

So I'm in the supermarket and there's this really scruffy, geeky looking guy wandering between aisles muttering about milk and eggs. His trolley is full and he looks distressed - like someone asked him to get something contingent upon an unrealizable condition and he's deadlocked... 
|
|
|
|
|
No, he must be lost.

Six gallons of milk in a basket, perchance?
