Another one that always gets me is nuts,'may contain nuts'

Mine is why do they put a little tab thing (sticky strip) on a big bag of revels etc.. I'm assuming its so you can roll the empty bag up when you've finished and stick it down...
Someone suggested it was to keep the bag sealed but I've never left any in the bag ... Once that bad boys open it's staying that way til it's empty... I have to eat my revels in order see! |

A friend bought me a rather classy wine bottle cork. I had to ask "we've been friends for 18 years, WTF have you bought me this?" |

It would be more accurate to show three biscuits crammed in a mouth,whole or soggy lumps at the bottom of a tea cup.
The nots could show the bag being upended into someones gaping mouth (reminiscent of feeding hippos).
Now that's what I call serving suggestions.
The one I like is ''Please enjoy Carlsberg Special Brew responsibly''. Got to admire the optimism of that one.

"The tops of cereal packets always get me.....'insert fingers in flaps and slide to open'.
'Tuck flap into slot to reseal'
Fuzz"
The other is "pull flaps to open"..
Well, duh.. obvious or what..
But why a woman would have that printed on her fanny, god only knows.. |

Much of it stems from the suing/compensation culture..
Some dick head will have burned themselves necking a red hot cuppa and won some sort of claim because the cup didn't tell him the contents were hot and hey presto..we need warning signs on cups.
Someone with a nut allergy will have eaten a product with nuts in but no allergy warning and the same thing..
It's all ass covering because people will blame anybody but themselves for their own misfortune...people don't need brains any more, they need instructions and warning labels to guide them through life safely |

Bottles of Mineral water.
Branding states how water has trickled its way through various rock layers for 100's, even 1000's of years, blah blah blah!
Then they print a Sell By Date on the bottle!
Eh??? |

"Ahhhh, the Greedy Bastard bag "
Fucking right. I fully understand why they don't print that on it.
Pissed me off when they started printing 'Man size' on bars of chocolate. Bit sexist to say the least |
