Lion bar ice cream: this product may stain

    I thought those warnings were bad enough when you see "may contain nuts" on packs of peanuts, and "allergy advice: contains mustard" on bottles of mustard, but this one was on me.

    suitable for vegetarians,
    may contain peanut and nut traces,
    this product may stain.

    I wonder how it comes about, do a certain amount of people have to complain and then they feel they have to have warnings.

    What next "may cause farting" on beans?
    "Do not eat the glass or lid" on jars of curry sauce?

    Not too bad, fairly small 60ml, but 6 for €1.50 in tesco at the moment.

    Not really like lion bars though, with a lot of these ice creams you are better off getting real bars, chopping them up and mixing in with vanilla icecream.

    Still reckon an ice cream mars is the nicest of the frozen treats.

    The directions are worse....I bought a Sure deodorant stick when I was 15 and it said "remove lid and push up bottom".........

    .......I was gay for ages.

    Just thinking -maybe Phil Lynott should have took heed of his lion bar wrappers.

    I'm surprised thats the case 'cause we all know that guinness does the same! Guinness Should have warnings may stain clothes and cause farting and plus something else.

    I do like the ice cream snickers but i find the frozen peanuts to be an assault on the gums & a day later a pain in the bum bum.

    The best warning label on anything I've come across was a warning on a Tesco readymade Tiramisu dessert,

    it warned "do not turn upside down"

    you'd really think that they wouldn't have put that on the underneath of the packet...

    Crunchie ice-cream bars are the niceest of the lot...by far. Especially if you eat one when you're stoned, it tastes like the nicest thing your brain will let you taste.

    Was doing the shopping in Lidl the other day, was about to buy a cheap tin of peas when I read the packet...
    "May cause attention deficiency in young children"
    No joke, check it out. Is that even legal to sell?

    Yeah Snickers ice cream trumps Mars ice cream.

    There was a list of those warning labels doing the rounds by email a few years ago - don't know whether they were real or not though. One of them was a label on the underside of a Marks & Spencer salad dressing bottle that read "Do not turn upside down".
    And there was a chainsaw with the warning "Do not attempt to operate with genitals" - from Japan. I'm guessing either it was one of the many hilarious mistranslations into English you see on Japanese products, or someone actually did attempt to "operate with genitals"...

    I saw a pair of underpants in a shop recently with "Warning: Contains Nuts" written on it.

    Well I turned it upside down obviously, it should have had a tag line saying "ha too late!"

    I had the last laugh tho, I put it back on the shelf.

    When you're there, don't buy peas. A tin with a white label I think

    Has anyone heard of the place in Cork just off Patricks St where you can choose any chocolate bar you want and make it into a milkshake? I think the name of the place is Hot Shakes?

    This shop

    What amuses me about Lion bars is that - from their own words - the coating isn't chocolate; it says "chocolate flavoured coating".

    "Chocolate flavoured" WHAT :eek: ?? Cardboard ? Mud ?

    I want to know!
