This is a question Question of the Week suggestions

Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:

* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer

What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Labels and warnings
Yesterday I bought some sealant for my kitchen, which I'm refitting (slowly and amateurishly). The tube says that it dries "in at least 24 hours".

To my mind, that translates as meaning that, at some point between now and the end of the universe, the sealant will dry. I'm neither surprised nor reassured by this.

What ridiculous labels and warnings have you seen recently?

A cotton
Polo shirt from M&S claimed to have a 'Thermal System' that meant it stores excess heat, and then releases it back to me when it gets cold.

And some pyjamas for my 2 year old warned me to keep them away from naked flames...yeah coz I would have thrown her in the fire otherwise.
Unfortunatly it didn't say anaything about acid, bullets, steam rollers or crocodiles. We can laugh about it now.
