Uh, I've used the CO2 extinguishers to instantly chill beer.
I guess I'm the reason why there's a label on the extinguisher.

I know, it's more or less the same thing.

But as said, END OF DISCUSSION! PERIOD!

This topic is soo good!! Shame I could find any of those stupid messages on labels, aren't we Belgians not stupid enough to put a chocolate cd in to a cd-player.

The only thing I can find is on my bag of pistachios. "May contain traces of peanuts."
Of course peanuts are growing right next to the pistachios. How can I forget this? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ouch.gif" alt="" />

A group called Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch has just finished its annual contest of wacky warning labels.

The grand prize went to a bottle of drain cleaner, which says
“If you do not understand or cannot read all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product.”

Some sound advice, particularly to those who can‘t read it.

Way to go Tsel. Might have known you would have been the reason for a label
like that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />

A label on a manufactured fireplace log which warns, "Caution -- Risk of Fire" has been identified as one of the nation's wackiest warning labels by a Michigan watchdog group.

The fireplace log warning actually placed second to a label on a CD player. That label carries this unusual warning: "Do not use the Ultradisc2000 as a projectile in a catapult."

A Sunnyvale, California resident discovered the third place winner on a box of birthday candles. That label tells users: "DO NOT use soft wax as ear plugs or for any other function that involves insertion into a body cavity."

Honorable mention went to Jared Frantz, a fourth grader from Ann Arbor, Michigan who found a label on a 35mm camera which warns: "When operating the selector dial with your eye to the viewfinder, care should be taken not to put your finger in your eye accidentally."

On the label for a cheap rubber ball toy: "Choking hazard: This toy is a small
ball."

On a shipment of hammers: "May be harmful if swallowed."

On a 6x10 inch inflatable picture frame: "Not to be used as a personal flotation
device."

Instructions for an espresso kettle: "The appliance is switched on by setting the
on/off switch to the 'on' position."

The first instruction on a bag of microwave popcorn: "Remove the plastic wrapper."
To see the instructions, one first has to remove the plastic wrapper and unfold the pouch.
