I hate the dump trucks that say "Stay back 500 feet" yet you have to get 20 feet behind the truck to see the small writing that says it.

"Do not overcook."

Subtle redundancy.

I saw this awesome brand of chocolate milk at the corner store yesterday. It came in a carton, with the edge opposite the opening labeled:

"Other side, stupid!"

I larfed.

Oh, gods... you know when your people (US, I suppose?) finds out there's gonna be lawsuits. XD

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I've seen a warning on a LEGO box before, stating something like this: (Not exactly a "... DUH" message, but still funny)

"This product is intended for children between 6 and 99 years old."

Not sure when or where, or even if this was in my imagination. >_>

Canada. So nobody really gets offended. XD And it was trying so hard to be a cool carton of milk. We forgive it.

Lego does say that. It's their way of saying "fun for all ages."

Nobody reads these warnings anymore, so it looks like companies are finally getting creative.

I bet half of these are on purpose.

I've always been a fan of the lawsuit that resulted in a company having to put "Do not leave the steering wheel while cruise control is on" inside their RV manual.

Khael! · 05-22-2007, 07:52 PM

I've always wanted to meet the people who caused these lawsuites to occur.

Y'know, to see if they're actually that stupid or just so bored they'll do anything for a laugh.

My favorite one is one that I get all of the time at college. We have these clear containers that have inside of them two hard boiled eggs. What does it say on the label? (under the regular label that says "Two(2) Hard Boiled Eggs")

Contains Eggs

I mean, do people normally confuse eggs with other foods?

Well, how about the lawsuit the resulted in cups of hot coffee now having to say "Warning: Hot"
