Where will it all end? ::)

I`d be more impressed if the warning was more 'pertinent' (and truthful)....`such as:

Eating Dairy-Milk will make you fat(ter)! ;D

Warning this product isn`t really 'chocolate'; just a block of artificially flavoured, hydrogenated fat! ;)

this old chestnut comes round again - you'll never see it - its a non-story placed by some desperate pr dept to get some free cadbury advertising - looks like they nailed it - ususally its the Sun or Star that gets duped - Sky has a slightly better rep - dismal.

please someone show me a packet of peanuts, on sale today, that states "may contain nuts" - they don't exist - or at least i've never seen one  :y

Was looking on a pack of extra strong mints a while back......It said  "this product may contain nuts"
There is a good deal of food items that are produced in an enviroment that may have produced or had traces of nut products.

:y Funny as it was 1 of 2 non meat flavours. Something to do with the onion flavouring using a pork starch by-product.

i was reading a similar article on msn last night but at the bottom of it , it stated that tescos have similar warnings on milk stating the product contains milk (all because someone tried to sue them because they were lactose intolerant and the label did not state the bl**dy obvious

Shouldn't that read 'guaranteed to contain nutters'?
