P.S. to the Brits reading this — believe me, our government takes this idiocy to the extreme. I know — I used to write product labels for caulking. Stuff like, “The contents of this container are not meant for consumption.” Sometimes I used to amuse myself by adding things like, “Nor is this container meant for sexual gratification.”

Seriously. Or “Eating lots of this product will probably make your ass large and your heart explode.”

Ha, Diana, that’s really funny! I do like that warnings in Europe are more specific than they are here, like on the cigarettes, where they say something like: “smoking leads to a painful, choking, wheezing death” or, more horrifying “smoking cigarettes leads to bad skin”. Maybe they should get more specific with the warning labels on the chocolate, like, “will make your ass very large.”
