Blissfully Ignorant

Alright, so i've finally felt the urge to write again. I go through times where i don't really want to string 2 sentences together let alone write something in here. But a little while ago I saw something on a bottle of pop I knew I'd eventually have to write something about it which in turn would cause me to write about related topics. What did I see on it you ask? Well I was examining my 1L bottle of Dr. Pepper when I noticed a little warning label on it. I thought this odd just because I'd never seen a warning on a bottle of pop before, but do you know what it said? "CAUTION! Contents under pressure". Now...don't get me wrong here but isn't pop GENERALLY carbonated, and doesn't that USUALLY mean that it's pressurized if it's not open? But I guess some people need to be reminded by a little warning label. Now this brings me to the subject of coffee cups having "CAUTION! Contents may be hot" written on them. See there's a story about this stemming from some lady in the states sueing and winning against McDonalds because she spilled her coffee on herself and got burned. I have no idea as to whether or not this story is valid but it DOES point out how stupid some people can be. Did you not know that the coffee would be hot? Isn't coffee generally served hot? Did you ask for it to be cold? And really...these labels are useless. Honestly who would look at a cup to see if it "could" be hot. Those are just there to cover the company's rear. Really, if you're going to complain that you burned yourself with your coffee or somehow injured yourself with a pressurized bottle of pop...well, you deserve what you get for being so ignorant.
