A thread on another forum got me thinking about this....
Ever see wierd food labels?
Example....
One time i was reading a label on a can of Tomato soup and it said "May contain Tomatoes or tomato products." UM.... MAY contain? it's TOMATO SOUP it BETTER have tomatoes lol.
Or in a grocery flyer was saw "all meat hot dogs." Hmmm I don't even want to know lol
The cans of baby formula always gave me a chuckle. They say "do not feed without adding water" Who in the world would feed a baby powdered milk dumped into a bottle? Wouldn't work. LOL.
LOL I have never seen that one beforeQuote:

Here in Canada, I smile inwardly at signs in a grocery store that say. "Bananas - imported."
Naah, I think I'll wait til the domestic Canadian bananas are in season... :p

The ice cream sundaes at McDonalds come with peanuts but only if you ask, and the peanuts are in a seperate little packet. On the little pack of nuts they give you, it issues a warning that "this pack contains nuts".
Guess I'll have to check for the Canadian bananas too....that was too funny.
I can't think of anything off hand, but these don't surprise me! I'm sure there have been lawsuits in the past from idiots.
Still, it's incredibly amusing.

HELLO????? lol
That's like commercials LOL. there is one commercial for some sort of car and they are driving around on buildings and it says in small print "This is fantasy... cars cannot drive on buildings." We have to TELL people this? lol
I love the warnings on hair dryers/curling irons...

When I worked for the eye MD we had a girl that tried to curl her eyelashes with a curling iron :rolleyes: I'll bet that is where that warning came from!
She really did a number on her eye too! Her answer as to 'why'?........"Well my girlfriend said she did it to get curly eyelashes."
Oh, and if your girlfriend jumps off a bridge, will you follow, too???!!!!
Eyelashes - I HAVE heated the metal of an eyelash curler on a curling iron, then used it. But sheesh - a curling iron ITSELF??? :rolleyes:
Tell me about it lol....Quote:

I spent the next few days with a big red burn mark on my cheek and it was only touching me for a split second.
Could you imagine thinking it might be a good idea to put it right up against your eye :eek:
That would be a Darwin Award winner right there!Quote:
