I was just over at a friend's appartment and in the back hall was a 5-gallon drum of rock salt. Some helpful doorknob of a fellow had taken it upon himself to inscribe the lid with the following little nugget of wisdom:

-ROCK SALT-
-DO NOT EAT-

Any yahoo who eats random substances from 5-gallon drums gets what he deserves.
 
anyone of you know that new mini usb stick music thingy by apple?

*do not eat*

yeah people really plan to eat their mp3 player so their tummy can rock all night long! booyah...
 
On some kind of pudding, on the bottom of the packet, it says 'Do not turn over'... bit late now.....

Also, on an American Airways packet of nuts: Instructions: Open Packet, eat nuts. :roll:

LoL, that one has to be my favorite. I always love to read the random things people can come up with. Doesn't Mcdonalds coffee now say "Caution: Contents may be hot" after that law suit they had or was that just an urban legend?
 
On some kid of microwave meal: Warning - Contents may be hot after heating.

A yo-yo with "mental parts"? Sounds scary. Would explain why you'd want to use it to play in a rough way by tying the string around someone's neck.

It's good to see a mobile phone that warns of supernovas and possible cube handling. A lot of cellphone companies over here just don't seem to give a damn about the consumer.

Yes, but the lawsuit was not a frivolous one like many claim. The woman received third-degree burns from the coffee. If the coffee can cause third degree burns, it is way too hot.
 
If memory serves...

It was over 160 Farenheit, and McDonalds got a lot of warnings on the matter from various health departments, in other states. Stating the coffee was far too hot to serve.
 
Over 160? Ech. That is too hot. I was basing my assumptions on anything over 135 (which isn't actually that hot). But still, if you squeeze the cup with your legs so it spills, Darwin award for you.
 
The coffee was at the temperature recommended by the national coffee association.

Here's the facts of that lawsuit: http://www.stellaawards.com/stella.html

McDonald's quality control managers specified that its coffee should be served at 180-190 degrees Fahrenheit. Liquids at that temperature can cause third-degree burns in 2-7 seconds. Such burns require skin grafting, debridement and whirlpool treatments to heal, and the resulting scarring is typically permanent.

Here's the Kicker: Coffee is supposed to be served in the range of 185 degrees! The National Coffee Association recommends coffee be brewed at "between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction" and drunk "immediately". If not drunk immediately, it should be "maintained at 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit". (Source: NCAUSA.) Exactly what, then, did McDonald's do wrong? Did it exhibit "willful, wanton, reckless or malicious conduct" -- the standard in New Mexico for awarding punitive damages?

I consider this lawsuit quite frivolous.

It's another american's attempt to cash in through the courts. Need we cite the countless lawsuits against mcdonalds by people who "didn't know it would make them fat." Sure the people eventually lost but come on now. I've heard of a lot of zany court cases but I think that could be a topic in and of itself.
