If you're THAT stupid...

[Nixy]

I bought a cake for dessert on Mother's Day, it was a snickers cake. It was chocolate cake with chocolate icing and then caramel and peanuts all over the top of the icing (ALOT of peanuts). On the package there is a sticker that says "Allergy alert: This product contains nuts"...REALLY if you're allegic to nuts and you're stupid enough to eat a cake with peanuts ALL over it then I'm pretty sure you deserve what's coming to you...that sticker is interfering with natural selection. :retard3:

[Professur]

But, but, Nixy, you have to remember that some people can react simply at the smell of peanut (and probably at the smell of money too). They have to be warned in advance. Granted that anyone that sensitive probably shouldn't be allowed out of their bubble, but that's entirely besides the point.

Well, the cake was in a typical plastic "this cake was made at the store" container and the sticker wasn't very big...one probably could see the peanuts before they were close enough to read the sticker...

[MrBishop]

It's the law...like putting ingredient listings on the side of packaged goods. :shrug:

Civilization interferes with natural selection. Doctors too. Medicine. Seat belts, motor cycle helmets, guard rails, child car seats, ... shall I continue?

[MrBishop]

Seatbelts interfere with natural selection, baby-seats, cross-walks, safety caps on Tylenol etc etc...

The law says that you have to list ingredients. Start making exceptions and everyone crosses the line. It's happening already with the whole 'no fat, fat-free, no trans-fat' thing.

Badly written law. A company can list a products fat-content using their measure of what 1 serving is. For Lays, 1 serving is 6 chips. Since 6 chips contain less than 1 gram of fat, they can legally write that their chips are fat-free.

Now...when was the last time that anyone stopped after eating only 6 chips?

The use of peanut oils, shells, nuts etc...is more closely monitored because the reaction is extreme for even minimal amounts. If the ingredients laws were relaxed any, some company who uses only 1 gallon of peanut oils in their vat of cookie dough could very well write 'peanut free', sell plenty of cookies and be well on their way to killing off a few hundred kids whose parents bought those cookies BECAUSE they were peanut-free.

Before the argument arises -- People have allergies to shrimp, seafood and bee stings... but they aren't common ingredients for foods like peanuts are.

Unc has got another food allergy. He can avoid his allergy because of label laws. You can't loosen label laws...even if they don't apply to you.

OK but with let's say...helmets and seat belts...if the people are stupid they're likely to not wear them and then natural selection can still take place...the stickers just allow COMPLETE idiots another day at life.

I never said ANYTHING about ingrediants lists...I LIKE that everything has an ingediants list and nutritional info thing now. I do not however see the need for the bright orange sticker. If someone can't read the ingrediants list or SEE the peanuts they maybe shouldn't be shopping/should have someone else check the package before eatting anything.

[Leslie]

What Nixy is saying is...

You have this cake in a plastic clear cake tray. Sprinkled on TOP of the cake is a whole whack of peanuts. On the plastic case, you see in big usual brand advertising letters that the name of the cake is Chocolate Caramel Peanut cake. On the label, is the ingredients listing, in which Peanuts is included. And the obligatory warning, contains Peanuts, is of course on the label as well.

BUT!!! That's not enough! Zehrs somehow feels it MUST put yet ANOTHER huge bright orange bonus sticker stating that yes, in fact, there are peanuts in there!

Anyone with any nut allergy is gonna notice without that great big honkin sticker. It's overkill. It's 'you're an idiot' and we know you don't know how to think. Like Walmart plastering curling iron boxes with extra stickers warning that they're hot or do not immerse or something, as if the big HOT on the box, or 'do not immerse' written all over the instructions inside isn't enough.

This cake one is WAY beyond the darwin stickers already out there.

All those safety features ARE natural selection at work. :shrug: Propagation of the species, nomatter how stoopid, right? :headdesk:

I think some scientist out there is playing a mean trick and trying to get backwards evolution to occur or something...if we get enough idiots to breed we'll turn back into monkeys :eek3:

Oh, and Les, EXACTLY! WHY is the orange sticker necessary on top of the ingrediants list, and the standard warning and the visible peanuts?!

[BeardofPants]

We were never monkeys to begin with nix. ;)

Sorry dear but we never were monkeys. We are a kind of ape if that makes you feel better.

Note that none of this really affects poo flinging ability.

[Nixy]

blah blah blah everyone is so specific...we'll once again become primates...better? :p

[rrfield]

My weak-ass arm can fling a baseball about 175 ft. I bet I can get a nice piece of poo about 125.

Hell thats nothin' I bought a bag of pistachios with an allergy warning it contains pistachios. :tardbang:

I live in the south. Not that much has changed. :lol:

[paul_valaru]

It NEEDS the sticker, right now the label says MIGHT contain peanuts, some guy might look at that and go, "oh well, that is a 50/50 chance, time to live a little"

nevermind it is a nut cake, with nuts right on top

[Leslie]

We Canadians need a HUGE warning when nuts are in the vicinity.

yeah we have signs saying may contain nuts, with arrows pointing south

I need that on a t-shirt :)

[Inkara1]

So, Nixy... point of this thread is about how the cake was... want me to start a thread about "this has peanuts" stickers to find out about how the cake was?

2 The Rules are subject to change without prior notification.
3 No male can possibly know all The Rules.
4 If the female suspects the male knows all The Rules, she must immediately change some or all of The Rules.

Well, no, of course not. If it was the man's fault, it would be paraded out daily for his humiliation.

There are ten of them, I have them on a T-shirt...when I find it I'll type them out for y'all to study :D

Not study. Ignore.

The real art lies in ignoring that shit in such a way that you don't get your ass kicked for it.

I just bought a premade caesar salad that's labelled "Caesar Salad with Parmesan Cheese" and then on the very next line in the same size text says "Warning: Contains cheese"

So .... how's the car?

[Nixy]

The car is FANTASTIC

Speaking of which...I probably should go and clean it out a bit...it's kinda disorganized atm

Then I must get ready for bed.

[Professur]

Car Slob. I knew it. You're a Car Slob.

[Nixy]

Car Slob. I knew it. You're a Car Slob.

It's kinda hard not to be when you're running aroudn from place to place with equipments and clipboards and everything else...it was clean yesterday morning and I'm going to tidy it again now. It's not like it accumulates for weeks or something :p

[Professur]

Not yet, but it will. Take it from someone who's job was 40 hours of running around from place to place. Hit the brakes once and everything finds it's own level. Eventually you just wind up leaving it where it lies. After all, you know where it is then.

[Nixy]

Now it's all tidy and my brand spanking new vinyl floor mats are down :D

I can guarantee I've got her beat.

We don't have warning labels on cakes that obviously have nuts. It's in the list of ingredients, but I've yet to see a warning label. Haven't seen any on cheese, either. Would you like to try again? ;)

Some people at work were having a convo the other day...apparently a lot of popsicles aren't nut free. If the product is manufactured in a plant that has nuts then it can not be considered nut free because a nut could of accidentally come in contact with the wrapper or product and that could be enough to cause a serious reaction or death in some.
