This all started in the Pirelli thread in the main Grand Prix forum area, as a tangent to a completely different conversation. When I saw the following:
Extending Ali's tangent, one of the most stupid is...Warning, may contain nuts. This is on a packet of peanuts.
I thought it was too hilarious not to respond to but probably in the interests of the thread to make that reply in the humour thread where it belongs.
Other bizarre warnings I've seen that surely must have been due to fear of litigation:
Warning: Sleeping pills may cause drowsiness
Fire extinguisher. Caution - non-flammable
Rain guage suitable for outdoor use
Air Conditioner. Avoid dropping out of window
500-piece jugsaw. Some assembly required
Rat Poison. Has caused cancer in laborotory mice.
Lighter Fluid. Warning - Flammable
Salt. Warning - Contains Salt
And finally:
Fruit Muffin. Contains flour, sugar, baking soda, a whole bunch of minor artificial ingredients, colour, flavouring. May contain nuts and
fruit.
