happythoughts 0 #1 January 6, 2005 clicky QuoteWarning: Don't brush teeth with toilet brush! Awards handed out for wackiest consumer warningsThe Associated Press The sign on the toilet brush says it best: “Do not use for personal hygiene.” That admonition was the winner of an anti-lawsuit group’s contest for the wackiest consumer warning label of the year. The $500 first prize went to Ed Gyetvai, of Oldcastle, Ontario, who submitted the toilet-brush label. A $250 second prize went to Matt Johnson, of Naperville, Ill., for a label on a children’s scooter that said, “This product moves when used.” A $100 third prize went to Ann Marie Taylor, of Camden, S.C., who submitted a warning from a digital thermometer that said, “Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjhdiver 0 #2 January 6, 2005 QuoteAwards handed out for wackiest consumer warningsThe Associated Press Still two of my favorites. The label on a child's superman costume. "Warning - Cape does not enable user to fly" And the one I still get on bags of peanuts on United Airlines. Bags that have "Peanuts" written on them, and the ingredient list contains one word, "peanuts" "Warning - May contain peanuts" You think ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #3 January 6, 2005 Those are funny... This one is not really "funny", but I like how it gets the point across. I bought some of these cigarettes in the UK (a long time ago - I don't smoke anymore)... This is a picture of the pack they come in... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unformed 0 #4 January 6, 2005 LOL! I used to smoke those when I was a teenager. The only store that sold to me before I was 18 only sold cloves, so I tried a wide variety of alternative cigarettes. (as well as a wide variety variety of alternative "tobacco" )This ad space for sale. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #5 January 6, 2005 We got written up by Transport Canada about ten years ago because after overhauling the engine and prop, rebuilding the dash, new electrical harness and radios, and fresh paint in and out, we were cavalier enough to operate our 182 without EXIT clearly marked on the door.

Meathorse 0 #7 January 6, 2005 It says "Contains chemicals that cause cancer in laboratory animals" on my anti-freeze. Are you a laboratory animal? Well I'm not a laboratory animal. Pour me another glass! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

karenmeal 0 #9 January 30, 2005 I was once playing in the toys section of a walmart and I noticed that on a little horn thing for a kid's bike.. it had a label on the front that said: Warning! May attract Canadian Geese! -I thought that one was pretty good.
