Filler
I bought a single “Kraft Snackables String Cheese” today at the grocery store. As I was munching on it I saw the following WARNING label on the package, “Safety First! Open the wrapper with your hands, not your teeth.” I mean…really? What is the worst that is going to happen if you use your teeth? It’s cheese, people. I think they just had white space they had to fill in and this was the best they could come up with. Sad, so very sad.

I don’t know, but I’m educated guessing that they were sued because either someone broke their teeth on the package, or someone used their teeth and picked up a bacteria or something from the outside of the package.

David, my friend…how in the name of all things good and holy would someone be able to break their teeth on plastic as flimsy as a ziploc bag?!
Actually, you are probably right. I just think it is the most ridiculous statement ever.
AND, how in the world did you know that I posted so fast?!?

Probably just coincidence about knowing you posted – I was checking the “Friend Surfer” feature of wordpress and saw that you had posted.
Leave it to lawyers to cause, and come up with, practical ridiculousness.
Incidentally, my mom once broke her tooth on some thread. I know there is a pulling factor with thread, but strange things happened all the time.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH wendy!! i’ve missed you so much!! i actually saw this post on my friend surfer the other day, and for some reason i thought it was DAVid’s post…how funny, since i JUST wrote a comment to YOU on his most recent post saying how much i missed you and your posts!
okay, now to the topic at hand…warnings on string cheese wrappers–perhaps it’s their feeble attempt to include some type of “joke” such as on laffy taffy or bubble gum? i don’t know, seeing as how string cheese seems to be a “kid” snack. (i love it, too, though.) just a thought. very strange and ridiculous.
