Yes, and the warnings on labels are funny too:
Mozarella cheese I bought had this on it, "Allergy warning: contains milk" (DUH!)
And the soy sauce:
"Allergy warning: contains soy"
Who would have thought?
Nut containers say the same thing. "Contains nuts". LOL
The soy milk I buy has this printed on the carton:
"Shake Well and Buy Often"
It cracks me up, though I have a suspicion I should be offended somehow.
If they don't put it on their, people exploit their own stupidity and sue the company. Which is why my lawn mower says, "don't put hands under mower when machine is running, may result in severed limbs"
... that was my first instinct, to raise my lawn mower above my head with my hands and use the whirring blade to give myself a crew cut ...
Yes, lawsuit happy people make labels entertaining for those of us who just use the stuff the way it should be ... we also use common sense :)
Lift...tab...oh...for years I've simply been ripping the box in two and then eating the Cap'n Crunch off of the floor.
I think a lot of it has to do with the crazy law suits. When people are getting rich because they didn't realize putting a cup of coffee between their legs as they drive might cause second degree burns, corporations have gone overboard to protect themselves.
On my wife's blowdryer it reads "Do not use in shower"...oh...that explains why my hair is so curly.
Imagine getting paid to write those directions. LOL
I want that job, eileen.
When my daughter was 8, she brought me an opened medicine bottle. She was clearly disgusted. "This medicine says, 'Child-proof cap' but I followed the directions on the lid and just opened it. This ISN'T child-proof, mom!"
I guess it was an "illiterate-proof" cap?
Some of those warning labels are so small, I need a magnifying glass! OK, so I'm gettin' older.
My absolute favorite commercial right now is Ford's...with the car driving on the edge of a building. Have you read the small print disclaimer..."Yes, this is a fantasy. No, cars can't drive on buildings" Every single time I see the commercial, I go into laughing fits.
My Straightening iron say's,
WARNING! NEVER USE WHILE SLEEPING OR OUTDOORS!
LOL!
