I'm sure some of you have seen the label on bags of BBQ briquettes: "Warning.. contents are flammable."

Today I found a new one. I bought a jar of "Italian Seasoning". I thought...what the heck, it's only 88 cents. Brought it home and checked the label: "Ingredients: Spices." That was it.

Here in Oregon, we just rejected Measure 92 which would require GMO information on labels here.

That's all I got.

Bought a small grill for camping. Looked like a tiny Weber. Outside of box said, "Table Top Grill". A red piece of paper inside said, "Never place on any table".

In the Deli section of a grocery years ago I noticed a wedge of cheddar cheese priced at $150. I checked the label and it was 1 pound at $150 per pound. Took it the guy and said 'seems a little high'. He laughed and said "Someone doesn't know how to use the price gun."

the crystallized ginger I order for my store has a warning that says "contains ingredients known in the state of California to cause cancer"

I always say, "well at least it only causes cancer in California"


also the sugar free stuff I sell says "excessive consumption make have a laxative effect" because of the maltitol.

So you want them to broadcast to everyone their secret mix of spices?

Recently I have seen labels that do not list sugar but do list 'dehydrated cane liquid'.
