Ever seen the old cliché "WARNING: This packet of peanuts may contain nuts"? Well, there's a whole award devoted to 'em. Genius!

i love the 'instructions: open packet, eat nuts' 
it is a well known fact that peanuts are not nuts. they are peas.

LOL, very funny
But they are there for a reason I guess
There is a very good reason why the packet of peanuts has a label on it: Contains nuts.... (contains peanuts was probably a mistake)
As a peanut is not actually a true nut, dispite its several common names, people that are allergic to nuts (and die within a few minutes of eating them if they don't get the right treatment) might very well be able to eat peanuts as they are not really nuts. But a company that packages peanuts probably packages other food materials too including nuts in the same machine. So if a little bit of a nut gets into the peanut bag and someone has an allergic reaction and that is an american......... well we all know what happends then
Also there are enough people that tried once to iron clothes when they where already wearing them when they noticed a little wrinkle.... It happends really it does. And wasn't it in the news (Dutch atleast) that a little kid jumped out of a flat with his Peter Pan clothes... (he should have bought a packet of fairy dust as he didn't fly (far) I can tell you that).
The Boot's children's cough medicine: do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication.... now that would explain a lot of accidents in the construction business. But if a parent has a cough and only has the children's cough medication right at hand???
