I have a packet of… something I bought at an asian grocery. It’s labeled “Indispensable Condiment”.
I’m afraid to open it.
Similarly, I have “Lemon Solid Drink” and “Sheep Soul”. I’m very afraid to open the “Sheep Soul” for fear of ghostly ewes and rams wandering my apartment.
You ever really read the back of a jug of Antifreeze? It warns you that it’s not intended for drinking! I believe this is something all intelligent people should already know! If you have to be told not to buy your refreshing beverages at the local auto parts store then I have no sympathy for you.
TyrC!
I kinda see the sense behind this one. Given the right conditions, matches can spontaneously combust. At the museum in which I work, we have to remove all of the matches from the matchbooks before we store them to prevent this.
This was an honest-to-god problem at one time, (granted, it was years and years ago) but women would actually leave the last tampon in place and then get horrible infections as a result. The book I read this in did not say whether they had simply forgotten to remove it, or had left it in for a reason, but the warning was added as a result, and the company must figure it’s “better safe than sorry” and have never removed it.
Heh, I loved Wonko The Sane too…
I can just see myself bringing a pot of melted cheese into the bedroom: “Okay, sweetie, I think it’s cooled off enough now…You might want to take your glasses off before I start!”
On a package of screws I bought, it said in big red letters “SCREWS”.
Yeah, like I wouldn’t recognize a screw when I saw one.
On Johnson’s Baby Bar:
Safety Tip: Keep out of reach of children.
Um. Is this ordinance or something? It IS supposed to be safe for kids use. So why the Safety Tip?
Unless they’re trying to hide something more sinister.
