I had to laugh at this....I bought a bottle of Finest Channel Island milk from Tesco at the weekend and they very helpfully provide a box with 'allergy advice'.

Its warning? 'Contains Milk' Now there's a relief!

Anyone else got any good ones?

Well, there is the old one about a packet of Roasted Peanutes carrying the warning 'Contains Nuts', but this may be an Urban Myth

Well, there's the old favourite, McDonald's coffee cups carrying warnings about the contents being hot ... I remember that kicked off a huge row (back on the old .com site, I think) about whether the court case in which a woman sued for getting scalded by Maccy D's coffee was justified or not :disturbd:

I once had a product from Tesco and on the bottom of the packaging there was a helpful little note saying 'please do not flip this product over'.

And there was the Swedish chainsaw I heard about which had a helpful notice on it - 'do not attempt to stop this chainsaw by your hands when in motion'. :erm: (That's true btw)
