Oh I see what you mean--I always figured peanuts & all other nuts were pretty much just nuts. Though in that case, why would a bag of peanuts contain traces of other nuts...? The processing machine(s) run many different varieties?

From a box of TAMPONS
Final step: "Pull up underwear".
what would women do without that final instruction.

Damn you tampax, we could have women walking around with their panties around their ankles if it weren't for you!
How about the one on the lawnmower that indicates that you should not stick you fingers underneath while it is running or attempt to pick it up?
Sad thing is, someone actually thought they could trim hedges this way. Hence the warning.

refering to the original topic statement, these warnings do need to be there. Forget about the Darwin effect - stupid people don't die from ignoring warnings, they live on and sue for millions because there were "insufficient" warnings. Until the lawsuits can be stopped, the warnings should all be there, no matter how obvious they are.
Yup Not a typo on MY part. You'd think the company would spell check/grammer check (in English) their own warning labels.
