My daughter and I went to a farm shop where she bought some cartons of Tomato soup, on the label there was a warning saying this product may contain Tomatoes !

It seems crazy but they have to cover all eventualities these days and spell everything out, just in case.

Well, well, well, who would have thought it?

We could not possibly have worked that out for ourselves now, could we?

Labels have to follow the law

JamesandJon33 Thu 05-Dec-24 17:30:11

And we all know ‘the law is an ass’!

We are living in a mad world, where even Pantomimes have warnings of possible offensive content. 😳

I have agreed to be the Bingo caller at our next WI meeting and have been warned that I need to change some of the names against the numbers, which could be offensive. What a load of politically correct rubbish.

What can I use for no. 11 or 88?

88 - two curvilicious, cis gender female identifying people?

Well at least you know you’re not getting chicken soup

and there's a sign above the entrance to the Houses of Parliament - "May contain nuts"

Things have gone too far. Everyone is offended about something. What happened to good old British humour! I honestly don't know how comedians can operate these days without fear of offending someone.

Did the pantomime promotion info warn of scenes of mild peril? Like the Paddington film😅

Buying £5 reader glasses from Asda supermarket Had to be security checked as the glasses can cause damage to children’s eyes!!

Annma Fri 06-Dec-24 12:54:52

It’s a crazy world out there!

Granmarderby10 Fri 06-Dec-24 13:04:25

surfingsal at first I had thought your post might be regarding the recent report on tomato products eg purée which may not be produced in the country stated such as Italy but from China under forced labour conditions. very b-a-a-a-a-d!
Does anyone tell the truth these days?

knspol Fri 06-Dec-24 13:41:55

I bought a bag of mixed nuts in their shells today - nobody warned me the shells might contain nuts!

AGAA4 Fri 06-Dec-24 13:57:16

Everyone is afraid of being sued these days and there are so many permanently offended people.

That reminds of a discussion with my mother years ago about food with hidden peanuts or peanut oil (when the allergies were first coming to the fore) and her saying "Yes, like peanut butter" - bit of a clue in the name there mother!

The best warning ever on a TV film:
"Jesus Christ Superstar; film based on the hit stage musical that reimagines the last days of Jesus Christ. Contains some violent scenes".. (You don't say..!!)

1+1 = 2, but not just now, or an hour before midnight?

88? 90 - 2 =n?

JudyBloom Fri 06-Dec-24 16:23:18

Well said Orly! :-)

Milest0ne Fri 06-Dec-24 16:36:38

A packet of butter had on it “ contains milk” Really.?

Fairislecable Fri 06-Dec-24 16:50:06

As it is seasonal you could say 11 Pipers Piping !

Still thinking on the 88 !
