    Sometimes on products I buy you see things like “don’t put the plastic bag over your head” or “don’t leave unattended around children”. I always ask myself who that’s for and then I remember the USA exist. :)

    Edit: Also, we have a proverb here about this exact kind of warning. It goes something like this: “This is an American-grade warning, like not to put your dog into the microwave.”

    Allergy warnings on products that are very clearly are made of potential allergens, such as a peanut allergen warning on a jar of peanut butter.

    Last time I visited the states I was dumbfounded to see a package of bagels with the warning ‘remove bagels from plastic bag before placing them in the toaster’.
