      I bought a Home for the Criminally Insane and it had the same warning on the packet!

      Oddly I bought a 3kg bag of UNF fixings with the same warning.

        These may have been written specifically for some of the Q&A posters. Warning Labels[^]

        It was broke, so I fixed it.

          Peanuts aren't nuts, so the label is valid. Technically, peanuts are legumes.

            One message "You could be a winner! No purchase nesessary. Details inside." is not as stupid as it may seem. If you have to buy something to win [a product, a ticket, a politician] then it stops being being a straight competition and becomes gambling and as you know gambling 'is bad'. IIRC this method was first used in the Merca but has spread over here as well.

                  Any relationship based on who wears the pants is bound to fail. It's not wearing pants that is the key.

                          I read that as... "Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats, Cheese - and it was damned good." I needed to read it again to realize it wasn't goats and cheese. :)

                          It was broke, so I fixed it.

                              No, the warning is correct. Peanuts are legumes[^], not nuts. If there were only peanuts, the warning would not be needed.

                                A co-worker is allergic to tree nuts, not ground nuts (such as peanuts), So, there IS a significant difference...
