Peanuts aren't nuts(they're legumes, the same family as peas), but are often packaged in factories that handle actual nuts. The warning is there because that's the law.

@@armondtanz I am seventeen years old and it didn't sound like any form of humour that I am familiar with. Perhaps the joke was that the world hasn't moved on as it claims to have?

I like the warnings on tea and coffee cups you buy in McDonalds and such "this is hot" - I should bloody well hope so !

[@coffeeguy6673]

Unlike the food which is usually cold. I think McDonalds got sued after some woman put a cup of hot coffee between her legs in her car and the coffee spilled and burnt her legs.

[@ingerfaber3411]

@@coffeeguy6673 Yup - you see it on all cups now

I heard a story about a man who did eat a bunch of those desiccate packets _because_ it said do not eat. He was like, F* you! I'm going to eat them. He didn't die, but it was unpleasant and landed him in the emergency room. Obviously, he had issues that were building before he decided to eat them.

*I MOVED TO BULGARIA 14 YEARS AGO* in the first 5 years I had SO MANY accidents - I would walk off the end of loading ramps, into traffic, get my sleeve caught in a lift... They don't nanny you here like the UK, you are expected to look where you are going - not at your phone - and rely on your eyes to tell you about hazards and not barriers. I didnt realise I was a cabbage until I moved here. It never happens now - my eyes now work like a normal human.
