So, just last night, i watched "Thank You For Smoking" again, and it got me thinking about what other products should have warning labels, or other ridiculous measures taken the way that the tobacco industry has been forced to. My intent here is not to debate the health or risks thereof that are inherent in the act of smoking, but rather a topic where we, the Dakka community can come up with off the wall places where a warning label "should" be used and why.

For example, Running shoes should have a warning labels, that warn potential users of the risks to their health that include fungal infections, shin splints, and other lower body injuries.



fly away dakka!! look forward to the crazy ideas out there.

Stairs, with a label recommending "a slow and steady pace on the grounds it would help prevent any injury that may be caused by the factor of gravity, thus making the stair company and the location, at which the stairs are situated, not liable for any damages that may incur from a rapid and undesirable descent".

Cause warning labels are boring like that.

Oxygen.

When properly used, will lead to aging and eventual death.

Internet

Will lead to trolling, Lolz, and the wasting of countless hours of one's life.

Dihydrogen Monoxide

Not a crazy idea but how about on a bag of mixed nuts you don't put: This product MAY contain nuts.

Blue doritos used to have this warning - Warning: May not be suitable for vegetarians. Madness I say, MADNESS!

Anime products need a label that says "crack is cheaper"
