Milk may contain milk

[motorollin]

I read the following this morning on the side of a bottle of milk:

Allergy advice: contains milk

On the packet for some pasta sauce this evening I found an equally absurd warning:

Warning: pot may become hot through heating

Anyone else find these warnings ridiculous?

i had a bag of hard candy the other day that said it was produced in a plant that handles peanuts and tree nut, which would be good to know if i was really allergic. maybe its just easier to have everyone place all possible warnings

If there is potential for the product to have come in to contact with ingredients that it does not actually contain, and to which somebody may have an allergic reaction, then I think the warning is warranted. But warning somebody that a product contains itself is just stupid, as is warning people that hot things are hot.

Any court which entertains cases like this is clearly run by idiots. And anyone who has an allergy to dairy and drinks milk not realising it contains milk deserves to have an allergic reaction. Hopefully anaphylaxis will destroy their reproductive organs before they have the chance to perpetuate their Stupid Genes.

At the bottom of the steps which take lead down to/up from the platform at Perry Bar train station is a sign which reads "Beware of steps". Why? What are the steps going to do? Spontaneously reconfigure in to a slope, causing you to plummet to the bottom and be deposited in to a pit of fire or a bed of nails?

The sign would more accurately read "Beware of stupidity and clumsiness".

I've just had a thought. Maybe "Beware of Steps" refers to these steps:



in which case I think the warning is justified!
