Ummm… thought that was common sense? 😕

No worse than microwave manufacturers having to warn their stupid, sue-happy customers not to dry their pets in the microwaves. :negative:

Pop Tarts.When my children were youngins,pop tarts were very cheap and actually had FILLING in them.I bought a box for my grand-children,way higher priced and is about 1/2 inch thick with coloring in the middle.They used to barely go down into the toaster,now,you have to dig it out XD

Every act matters.No matter how small💞

Mmmmm! Coloring flavoured Pop Tarts. Almost as nutritious as the cardboard box they come in.

Those are hilarious! 😆
Those are all great, but this one near made me cry 😆 :

“Always drive on roads. Not on people.” — From a car commercial which shows a vehicle “body-surfing” at a concert.

This made me laugh. I played with most of the original, “lame” versions when I was a small Chris!

The worst is, I still have the 8tracks too! XD
“From the racks and the stacks, it’s the best on wax! How about another double boom boom spin, from KLAM in Portland, It’s….BOSS!!”
Then again, I have a record player too…Oh no Ipod, but a cell phone, and this retarded PC when it behaves! 😀
Technology is great. 🙄

What happened to the time when a kid had a stick and sat in the yard and dug a hole? Stupid Playstation…*grumbles* 😡

Hey, back when video games were made to be more challenging, kids got plenty of exercise! Remember the original Zelda and Metroids? I would die so much I would take a break. How? Fresh air! But now video games were made to be beaten in 13 hours (like Jak & Daxter) and the challenge level isn’t there anymore. Tomb Raider 2, I think, was so hard fans complained, so Eidos made Tomb Raider 3 easier. What a difference 20 years makes.

Well if the manufacturer didn’t put that warning on the label and a child did this and got seriously hurt, the parents could sue them because they place this warning on their label. A lot of this is to protect manufacturers from lawsuits! Yeah, times have changed! :scratch:

I agree with you there. I remember when you can get a group of 4 to 6 kids together and entertain them for 4 or 5 months on one game (mario- yoshi land,for example). I still get games now and my room mate and I can have one beat in 1 weekend if we are lucky. Then they want to charge you 40 to 70 bucks for those couple of hours of play.
