- Egg Nog: Do Not Use As Infant Formula
I know this is just a blanket disclaimer/warning label left over from the standard rice milk carton…but who would use egg nog as infant formula?
- Swoop Warning
Well, that’s encouraging. I mean, nothing makes lunchtime better than worrying you might be about to star in a Hitchcock remake.
- Icy?
I rediscovered this photo while looking for the UCI Student Center pic. One of us took it on the way back from a camping trip with UCI’s Campuswide Honors Program in the Angeles National Forest in April 2000. IIRC it was along Angeles Crest Highway. A permanent sign isn’t necessarily the best way to indicate […]
- Positive Spin
Bumper sticker spotted on a Corner Bakery delivery van: It reminds me of the warnings you see on cardboard coffee cups that say things like, “The beverage you are about to enjoy is extremely hot.” Though my favorite is still one from the late, lamented* Diedrich Coffee that said, “Of course it’s hot!” *OK, they’re […]
- Wet Floor: This Means You
I have to wonder, were people ignoring the Caution sign until they scrawled “for you” on it? Edit: I also can’t help but think of Something Positive’s emo catgirl drawing.
- Useful warning labels
Forget “Coffee is Hot!” and its variations. What they really need is a warning on iced blended drinks that anything larger than about 12 ounces may separate and require frequent re-mixing unless drunk rapidly.

Sign at Whole Foods: Allergen-free fish sticks. Okaaay…but what if you’re allergic to fish?

Here’s a candidate for Engrish.com if I ever saw one… except it’s aimed at the US market. This is from the back of a small metal Justice League figurine: OK, I understand what they’re saying, it could break into small parts that could be a choking hazard. But the phrasing is awkward at best, and […]
- Manual off-topic
I picked up a new mouse to use at work yesterday, mainly because I wanted a scroll wheel that actually turned. (The old one was jammed.) I figured I’d go optical as well, since I much prefer optical mice. I ended up getting a basic $15 Microsoft mouse, though I would have gone for a […]
- Allergy labeling
The top food allergens must now be labeled clearly on ingredient statements. Voluntary labels have been quite helpful…well, most of them have.
- Warning: Contains Ingredients
Here’s another interesting Food Allergy Alert: Wisconsin Cheesecake Co., Inc., is recalling 28-oz. Candy Bar Cheesecakes containing either Butterfinger, Reese’s Pieces, Peanut Butter Cup, or Snickers brands because they contain undeclared peanuts. Now I’m not sure what’s stranger about this: the fact that someone managed to leave peanuts off the ingredients list, or that they […]
