Have you ever wondered?

Do you ever stop to wonder what on earth the world is coming to? Now that Cadbury Diary Milk Chocolate has to show on the wrapper that the product contains milk? Even though there is a picture of a glass of milk being poured into the products logo!

I hate stuff like that because it undermines us and scentient beings and that the morons out there - you know who you are - cannot think for themselves so have to be told everything.

Here's a few classic examples of stuff I find patronising and ridiculous, but it makes me wonder, if the companies have had to put this information on thier products, is it because someone has already done it, sued the company and won damages? Or is it because the potential is there and the company are trying to protect themselves before the law suit? In which case how on earth are they going to cater for every possible scenario that is likely to happen?

1. On a swedish chain saw it says "Do not attempt to stop the chain with your hand or genitals"
2. Steam Iron instructions say "do not iron clothes on the body". Oh come on!
3. On the bottom of a Tesco Tiramasu it says "do not turn up side down"
4. On the bag of microwave popcorn it says "contents will be hot after cooking in microwave"
5. On macdonalds coffee cups and hot desserts it says "Warning - contents hot" Are we really such imbeciles?
6. On a Marks and Spencer Bread pudding "Product will be hot after heating"
7. On Nytol Sleep Aid it warns us that it may cause drowsiness! Really!!
8. On a childs superman costume it says "wearing this product does not enable you to fly"

The list goes on and on....

Here's some other rubbish I think about:

1. Why dont we ever see "phychic wins lottery" in the headlines?
2. Why is abbreviated and appostrophy such long words?
3. Why does lisp have a "s" in it?
4. Why do Doctors call what they do "practice"?
5. Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavours and dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons?
6. Why isn't there mouse or bird flavoured cat food?
7. Why don't sheep shrink in the rain?
8. Any my old favourite.... How do flies land up side down on the ceiling?
