2. The warning should say: "Caution, this fucker has molten lava in it"
I've burned the roof of my mouth at LEAST 100 times on those things, and not to mention the burn scars on my chin from the strings of slag cheese that ALWAYS fall on my face.

Which is why I now read the backs of the packages before buying.

7. I saw an ad for some sort of estrogen today
one of the warnings was 'you should not take if you have a uterus'.

Yes, I know some women have had hysterectomies, but the absurdity of the wording made me chuckle.

9. Seen on a bottle of room deoderizer spray
"Reacts the same as lemon juice when sprayed in the eyes."

How many people do you know who spray lemon juice in their eyes?

12. And I think the eyes react more strongly than the lemon juice, anyway.

I tried "google images," but didn't see anything :shrug:

21. That doesn't even LOOK appealing.
Blech. But, thanks for letting me know. I should have guessed it was something from the "processed food" group. :o

20. Hot Pockets used to be a sponsor of Limpballs' TV show
That's one reason I won't buy them. Well, they don't sell them in Canada, but if they did, I wouldn't buy them. However, I didn't buy any during a recent visit to the US.
