Funny warnings on our food
Each time I see a post by DrPepper I think of my favorite warning label, so thought I'd start a thread about it.
My favorite is on bottles of Dr Pepper & 7-up. And I quote "Warning: Contents under pressure. Cap may blow off, causing eye or other serious injury. Point away from face and people, especially while opening."

The funniest/stupidest warning I've seen is the 'Caution:Contents may be Extremely Hot' warning on the coffee or hot cocoa styrofoam cups you get at like McDonald's or Burger King. I swear, people who order coffee/hot cocoa should already KNOW that it's gonna be hot. I know why they all did it though... McDonald's lost a case to a woman who spilled hot coffee on herself in their restaurant & got burnt. I don't remember how long ago that happened, but it's been awhile.

Some people will not accept responsibility for their own stupidity - so they turn it into a lawsuit. If I would have spilled hot coffee on my crotch (sorry for being so blunt - but that is what the woman at McD's did) do you think I would have wanted it broadcasted all over the media???? Hello - is anyone home - some things should be left private (excuse the pun). It amazes me how stupid people are - anything for a buck - to me - keep your buck - I like my body the way it is! 'nuff said...........

I see those "hot contents" labels all the time.
In that McD's case the woman who sued (and won) was at the end of a long line of other people who had also filed complaints with the same McD's. Apparently the coffee was boiling hot, they had been told to fix it, but they did not. So she won. That makes sense really, not coffee should be boiling hot.

I didn't know about the "boiling hot" part of this. But still.... DUH!
There was a seinfeld episode like this too. LOL I agree that it's total ignorance. There are lots of products that OBVIOUSLY contain peanuts (such as peanut butter) where they're required to put a warning that says "Product may contains peanuts" so that those allergic don't sue them. *laughs* Again, I repeat, DUH! And LOL @ mama's pun. heheee
