Labels
Is it really necessary to have a peanut allergen warning on the side
of a can of mixed nuts? I realize peanut allergies are serious and
everything, but if a person picks up a can of nuts wondering, "Do
these have nuts in them?" he or she deserves to die. Also, I wonder
if people at the peanut company have been making this observation for
decades now. In a related anecdote, the HI-C fountain at Erbert and
Gerbert's has a sign that says "Contains no juice." Is it really
necessary for products to list ingredients that they don't contain?
This could fill up the label in a hurry. "Contains no juice, arsenic,
formeldahyde, asbestos, broken glass, gasoline, etc..."
Now, I know it is probably
required since it's a juice-like drink. But, do they have to put a
label on Apple Jacks that says "Contains no apples," or a label
on Grape Nuts that says "Contains no grapes or nuts?" Well, you
probably get the point. I'm going to continue anyways because its
fun for me. Do they need a label on Camel cigarettes that says "Contains
no camels?" Why isn't there a label on my Chumba Wumba CD that says
"Contains no Chumbas and only 10% Wumbas." Why doesn't the FDA make
Ice Mountain add a label that says, "Contains no solid ice?"
