Labels Urged for Food That Can Choke
NY TIMES ^ | 5-25-10 | LAURIE TARKAN

On a July afternoon in 2006, Patrick Hale microwaved a bag of popcorn for his two young children and sat down with them to watch television. When he got up to change the channel, he heard a strange noise behind him, and turned to see his 23-month-old daughter, Allison, turning purple and unable to breathe.

I love how products I use every day have a label specifically for California:

"This product is know in the State of California to cause..."

I even found one of them inside a box of bullets, as if the lead hazard was the worst thing.

Truly, I wish everything in California did cause cancer.

Small children can choke on hot dogs if they don't chew them properly.

I have to be very careful as I have had acid reflux for so many years that I choke easily on foods, especially hamburger and lettuce. I never eat popcorn for that reason.

"as if the lead hazard was the worst thing."They should warn of the dangers of high-velocity lead injections.

The Philadelphia Eagles will have to label their pre-game playoff meals.

are the labels going to be in spanish too?

That's racist!

They should be in at least French, German, Ter Sami, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Comanche, Malay, Dutch, Thai, Italian, Swedish, and Klingon.

You know, if Mama Cass had given Karen Carpenter a ham sandwich, both would still be alive today.

If you are 21 and don’t know popcorn can choke you, you are too stupid to live.

These stupid laws infuriate me. They just add costs to the product and waste my time.

I can remember when a manual was actually instructions on how to use a product, and not a list of idiotic warnings like, “Do not throw electrical products in water”.

With every product I use, there usually is one “idiot Manual” which I throw out.

When you get an instruction manual nowadays, half of it is in some stupid foreign langauge, and half of the rest of it is “idiot” instructions, leaving usually just a few pages of stuff you DO need. Car manuals in particular are truly huge wastes. For every page of specs or instructions, there is usually at least two pages of “warning, do not let children drive vehicles” or some such garbage.

rant /off

Lots of sports team candidates - the Eagles were just the first to come to my mind.

What the hell’s he doing giving a 23-month-old popcorn?!

Exactly!

Stupidity should be a jail-time offence. Specially so when it results in what is essentially child abuse.

I am sick of the cretins of society prompting our elected retards to pass laws affecting the hundreds of millions of the rest of us and forcing us to live like handicapped mental deficients.

Prosecute the morons, not the rest of us.
