I know this isn't in the spirit of the thread, but what the feck..
At least it isn't as condescending and stupid as the milkshake I bought the other day..
"Allergy advice: Warning, contains milk." Well, DUH!..
Or the hazelnut chocolate bar I bought that said "Warning, may contain nuts"..May?? I bought it cos it was supposed to have friggin nuts in it. :pissed:
Even my new soldering iron had a sodding label that warned me that it gets hot... :lol:
I'm beginning to think we should remove all warning labels and let evolution take it's course.
Bugger Karlos' revolution, Death to the stupid.
Yeah, I've thought that before...
The person why sued because their coffee was hot, the people who put pop tarts into a toaster and then were surprised when they burnt their mouths eating them.
The 'may contain nuts' thing might just be a conventional labelling thing, that they put on depending on the environment its produced in. So it only sounds silly when it happens to apply to something that is
supposed to contain nuts. Even so, you're right, it is stupid.
My favourite one, is a story my Dad told me. He used to work for Islington borough council years ago. And there was a window somewhere that kept getting smashed by vandals. So the local government decided to replace it, and the rest of the windows in this council building, with polycarbonate ones.
So one day, a kid comes along, throws half a brick at the window that was always getting smashed and.....guess what?
It bounced back and hit him on the head, causing relatively minor injuries. You probably already have an inkling what's coming next.....His mother tried to sue the local council, because of what happened to her son. The judge threw it out of court, but that was the 80s...these days she'd probably win....which neatly brings us to why we have all these inane warnings...!!!
