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.

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.

I've got a pair of pants like that!

Wise words master. I endeavour to offer peanuts to anyone claiming a nut allergy.

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

We had a melon salad on Sunday - Melon, Toms, Cucumber, Goats Cheese - and it was damned good.

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...

They do seem to be getting rather light and empty, don't they?
