    Everytime I see a thread talking about consumer inteligence - or lack thereof - I feel the urge to share this magnificent site - Not Always Right | Funny & Stupid Customer Quotes - hours and hours of reading fun!

        Yea, we believe you, it'll be OK Wazza.
        I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

I did not know there were different size H2O's!!! Who the F knew!!!!
            My wife fell for that one. The salesman said the water was "bombarded by ions to break up the water molecules so the body could absorb them faster". He also claimed it would help you lose weight, cure bad skin, help you sleep, and improve your mood. I'm now the proud owner of 4 VERY expensive cases of tap water.

            Sigh...

                in the spirit of consumer stupidity...the following link is a compilation of warning messages on various products....

                Things People Said: Warning Labels

                And the scary thing about all those, is someone, some place, had to have done those things for the company to be forced to even make mention...."For external use only - curling iron" or my favourite...

                "Warning: Do not climb inside this bag and zip it up. Doing so will cause injury and death." -- A label inside a protective bag (for fragile objects), which measures 15cm by 15cm by 12cm.

                I am trying to figure out how someone could climb into a bag that small, and even better, zip it up from inside.

                Please do not PM me for questions related to Konica Minolta hardware.
                I will not answer requests or questions there.
                Please ask in the KM forum for the benefit of others to see the question and give their input.

                    What about an AM/FM radio - they seem to put them in practically everything else these days.

                    "Warning - May contain nuts" on a bag of airline peanuts...
