It's irritating isn't it?  These statements of the bleedin' obvious are to prevent the Chav fraternity from buying a bag of nuts, having an allergic reaction and then suing the manufacturer because there was no warning on the label.  Proof if any were needed that the society we live in is litigation crazy, a dumbass injury is tantamount to a lottery win for the cerebrally challenged.

My bugbear is those poncey shampoos which list "Aqua" and "Parfum" amongst the ingredients...  Why can't they just say "Water" and "stuff what smells nice"?

So why does mineral water, filtered through rock for thousands of years before you buy it have a bloody sell by date....?

I'm suddenly reminded of that Only Fools & Horses episode where Rodney & Del make a fortune selling "Peckham Spring" mineral water...
