You know what? We can think for ourselves. The government does not have to require food manufacturers to reduce sodium in the food we buy. We can actually “not shake the salt shaker”. When are they going to put labels on gold coins telling us not to swallow them? The government already requires ladder manufacturers to put labels on ladders that tell us not to climb on the top step. When I get that shaky feeling upon arriving higher than I feel comfortable, I stop climbing. I don’t stop because of a label. Does the government think we are stupid? Apparently so.

Here are a few more dumb warning labels that either our government or a foreign government decided we needed to see on items.
