5. On a New Zealand insect spray - THIS PRODUCT NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS. (so insects arent animals anymore?)


Dumbest load of crap ever.

I'm in the cafeteria eating carrots from a bag. I'm bored because, well, it's school, so I check to see if there are ingredients.

Ingredients: Carrots

Ha, that's awesome.

I want to see the ones that were removed.


P.S. It's pretty much law to state whether or not your product contains nuts. If your product did, and you didn't say so, and someone had an reaction to it. You're in for heavy lawsuits.

(Atleast in the UK..) Also stating the ingredients for your product is necessary if it comes in a container, that is, burger box, plastic wrapper, bottle, can, sandwhich box etc.

While it might be slightly amusing, it is actually really depressing that companies have to go to such much effort to have a pre-emptive measure on all sorts of law suits.

As for children's cough medicine, anyone is allowed to drive a car given that they are not driving it on public highway. So if a child (let's say 13 year old Jimmy) happened to crash his car in an empty field after taking cough medicine, the company *could* be liable.

On an interesting note, consider the ingredients in Dasani:

water, magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride, salt

Here, you're only allowed to drive without a license if you're on your own property. If little Jimmy's parents didn't own the field, they would be in major trouble. Heck, they'd probably get a visit from social services either way.
EDIT: Apparantly, a Girl Scout Cookie can build strong: values, minds, bodies, spirit, friendships, skills, leadership, and community. Dude, three more boxes and I'll be lookin' great!

25. On Boot's "Children's" cough medicine: DO NOT DRIVE CAR OR OPERATE MACHINERY.
:roflol: That one is funny because it made no sense since children wouldn't be driving a car (unless they are carjackers) or operating machinery until they are teenagers.

What, and adults never take medicine that's packaged for children? My sister used to take children's Centrum vitamins because they were chewable and she has an overactive gag reflex. Children's cough medicine is probably taken by plenty of adults.


Pedialyte is an excellent cure for nights spent out drinking more than you should.

But as far as I know, inspite not being a nut, it either sets off the same reaction, or has trace elements of actual nuts in the packaging.

"As the peanut is a member of the legume family unrelated to other nuts, individuals with peanut allergies may not be allergic to the other types of nuts, and vice-versa."


Mangos are members of the same family as cashews, durians, and poison oak.

Try not to confuse them.

Oh yeah, I meant to say their field. Ah well.

Last I knew, water didn't have any type of sodium in it.

But this is DESIGNER WATER!

Sat Mar 10, 2007 6:34 pm

Dasani? Pfft.
If you can't buy it in a convience store, it's designer. :P

(Aah, this feels like old times. Paul and I debating and all)

Sat Mar 10, 2007 6:51 pm

I actually despise the pretentiousness of designer water. I just buy the cheapest bottled carbonated water and drink that.

Sat Mar 10, 2007 7:19 pm

I just go to a water fountain :P

Sat Mar 10, 2007 7:28 pm

Forget water fountains, I go to the SINK, baby.
