Show is your stupid labels!

[snaarman]

While I was adding pictures for my photoblog entry today (plug) I nearly added this one...



Erm. Let me get this right.

Its Peanut Butter, it says so on the label and also on the front.

There's a warning that says it contains peanuts. You don't say...

But wait ... there's another warning that says it may contain nuts.



Anyone else got a pet hate label*

*Car batteries in California - is it true they had a label stating "Do not drink the contents, it may be injurious to your health"? Oh, I do hope so..

Furthermore, I offer this advice from a motor bike accessory:

"Remember, objects in the mirror are actually behind you.."

I had to laugh at the 'high speed spins' pic as a while back a group of firemen - those that put out fires - got nabbed for putting a mate (another fireman) into an industrial washer/spin unit for a prank... then started it up and took a video and then wondered why they got nabbed.
