Thread Name: BS: Silly/Stupid Product Descriptions
Subject: RE: BS: Silly/Stupid Product Descriptions
I saw a packet of salted peanuts that had the dire warning "This product may contain nuts". I know a nut allergy can be deadly and we need to be careful but I despair or some peoples thought processes some times!

Also saw plasters (or band aids for our American friends) that said 'for external use only'. Makes me wonder if anyone ever tried to swallow one - and why???

Mind you I do avoid microwave meals that say "ALWAYS check that the product is piping hot". I mean, I want a snack - not a lifelong commitment...;-)

Cheers
