    "Pound Shop...Yes everything is £1+"

    All of these stupids labels go to show that someone, somewhere must have actually complained that they didn't realise these things!

    Happy Egg Company eggboxes used to have an allegry advice bit on the inside of the lid advising that the eggs contained...egg.

    I emailed them and enquired why this was, wondering if anyone with a known allergy to eggs would buy eggs, eat them and sue, and if any court would take it seriously.

    I never got a reply, but the advice is no longer present

  • this isn't typically a 'stupid food label', but I felt the need to share nonetheless...

    I had some Solero-style ice lollies from Aldi and I was quite horrified when I read the box and it said 'contains fish'.

    fish. FISH?????????? in my lovely ice lollies???!!!!!

    I can't remember the exact reason for it... it was something to do with one of the ingredients. maybe a colouring or preservative or something :huh:
