Most pointless warning label
- Thread starter meatloaf231
- Start date
A nearby burger joint grills all its burgers with peanut oil. However, some people are allergic to peanuts (especially kids, and there is a kids amusement park closeby), and are thus warned that everything has peanut oil at the door and at a couple points inside.
All of the ingredients the place uses are fresh. And they stock some of their ingredients in the main dining area to prove it. So, at any given moment, they have a warning for "Caution: Peanuts", standing above roughly 5 tons worth of boxed peanuts.

What? aren't characters allowed to conversate in games anymore?
On a pack of salted peanuts:
Allergy warning: May contain traces of peanuts.

My favourite warning label is: "Smoking can cause a slow and painful death" I like how brutal it is.
The stupidest label I've seen though is: "Smoking is highly addictive; don't start" I little bit late for that don't you think? You aren't ever really gonna see that label until you have bought the smokes and have probably already started.

Yes, I agree 100%. Lawyers are the slimyest creatures on the planet. I would put them just slightly below pond scum, only I really don't want to insult pond scum. I actually had to testify on behalf of my company once, so I got a heck of a lot of lawyer exposure. They just don't see the world the same way rational people do. I have 3 very close freinds who are lawyers and they will be the first to tell you that they hate lawyers.

On hairdryer: Do not use while in shower
even ignoring the electrocution, what would be the point?

Now, while I do hate to defend, or even appear to defend, such idiotic lawsuits, I have to step up a second and mention this:Iron Mal said:
Everyone assumes a lot of things about infamous McDonald's Coffee lawsuit, in which a woman sued them because the coffee scalded her. Normally (and I say this with reservation because we may never know what with courts and companies these days) this wouldn't have ended the way it had. However, there are a lot of unknown facts that people assume about the case.
The coffee was in violation of health codes for being, yes, too hot. It was effectively able to give her (and any else who happened to spill it) second degree burns. The store in question had been visited by a Health Inspector repeatedly regarding that very issue. The store never made any adjustments, and when the impending burn occurred, the store was very much at fault for causing burns much more dangerous then they otherwise would have been.
The end result is head shakingly stupid ('Caution: Coffee is hot' was never in question) but alas, it is a way to prevent any more lawsuits, should a store fail to adhere to the Health Inspector's "suggested" coffee temperature.
We all know the news is really just 'hear-say'. We know they tend to leave out a few details, intentionally or not. And we all know that they will embellish a story to make it 'sell' better. I just wish people would take moment to consider things completely and even take a step to investigate it themselves before making snap judgments regarding the people involved.
I have a few good ones I found in one of those bathroom readers. No Idea if they're true or not, but funny nonetheless:
On a portable disc player: Warning: Do Not use ultradisc 3000 as a projectile in a catapult
On a toner cartrigde: Do not eat toner.
On a shampoo bottle: Do not use shampoo as a topping for ice cream
On a vacuum cleaner: Do not use vacuum to pick up anything that is currently burning.
