Default Packaging Stupidity. Was: Lidl's seeds

"..........Pre heat the oven to 200c, 400f Gas Mark 6 ...........cook near
the top of the oven for 50 - 55 minutes.
Caution filling may be HOT..."

If not get a new oven


On a chinese steak knife: "Warning: Keep out of children"

On the bottom of a Tesco dessert: "Do not turn upside-down"

On a bottle of *childrens'* medicine: "Do not drive or operate machinery"

and finally:

On a packet of peanuts: "Warning: May contain nuts"

The last one is a valid warning. Some people are allergic to "nuts" in
general, some people are alergic to "peanuts". Technically Peanuts are a
tuber and not a nut, but if they are packaged in a factory which handles
"nuts" the warning is required. Strange but True.


My Godson swears he travelled on an airline which had packets of peanuts
with instructions "Open packet. Eat peanuts".
