I’ll try harder next time.
You’ll label it more accurately.
You could add “May contain ignorance”
I swear I’m kidding. Just couldn’t stop myself.
Fake Cocaine.
There are still cases where stupic warning labels may still be justified.
“Warning: Do not discharge grenade launcher in enclosed spaces.”
Yes, I know, I can’t stand how all those people who have deadly allergies are keeling over in the streets because the listing of allergens has become so meaninglessly ubiquitous that they just ignore them now.
Allergens are proteins. So more about egg whites than yolks.
Thought this would be about other stupid warning labels like how I once saw a Porty-A-Potty with a warning label inside that said DO NOT USE IF CURRENTLY BEING TRANSPORTED. I love the idea of somebody using a port-o-potty that’s on the back of a flat bed pick-up truck going 60MPH down the freeway.
There’s some real irony in the fact that a thread ranting about purportedly unnecessary extra info on labels … had a label with insufficient info.
You’ve never met drunken rednecks, have you?
ETA: my favorite “unnecessary warning” are the boxes of frozen pretzels that say, “Do not use entire salt packet unless heating all pretzels” or something to that effect. (I ate the last of mine recently, and don’t have a box handy.)
Maybe I like my single pretzel to be extra salty! And then the rest to be unsalted! Don’t tell me how to live my life, frozen pretzel box!
Simple misunderstanding of “bowel movement”.
“Do Not Eat Frozen Pizza”
Who’d a thunk it?
Thank you. I must watch the wrong sort of documentaries; never seen that.
When ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Even if you’re going at the same time.
A friend / cow-orker of mine used to fly freight in 747s across the Pacific ocean. Hours and hours of nothing to do while the computers drove the jet to China. In freighters there’s no competition w passengers for time in the lav. Anyhow, he tells the story of taking a 200-mile long shit, accompanied by a suitable bit of reading. 
What the hell is a frozen pretzel? Color me baffled.
But yeah, the idea that there’s such a thing as too much salt on a real pretzel is nonsensical. If you can still see the bread, it’s not quite salted enough.
Love them frozen pretzels.
Need warning label “May contain ingredients that make you want more more more!”
That’s another thing. They could be more like Lays potato chips can’t eat just one in labeling products. Get more creative. My garlic/bleu cheese stuffed olives could say “May cause you regret at 2am if you eat with popcorn”
Or Ivys ginger she buy for her ginger bread “Caution, everything you wear will be gingery after using this spice” or
“Use gingerly” yeah, I like that one.
Soft pretzels that you bake, so then they’re hot pretzels.
The 21st Century is a very strange place. Thank you.
Soft pretzels go way back…
SuperPretzel–a brand of boxed, frozen soft pretzels–was invented in 1971.
Sorry @LSLGuy not exactly diabetic friendly.
It’s the frozen bake-at-home part I was questioning. I’ve certainly eaten Bavarian style mongo soft pretzels recently.
And no, they are not diabetic friendly. The first bite is OK, the second is marginal, and after that it’s the road autobahn to perdition. :eek:
Or those silica gel packets in the beef jerky that say DO NOT EAT. Wonder who the first person wad to see those and think “Oh nice, I can put extra salt on my jerky!”
