Be Treatwise

So I bought a new chocolate bar that was being advertised recently, Cadburys Dark Milk, which wasnt bad, still prefer actual dark chocolate


Anyhoo, as I was munching down, noticed a new little disclaimer label thingy they had on the wrapper




Bottom right hand corner, it says

"Be Treatwise, Enjoy a balanced diet"

Oh FFS, I thought to myself, we need warning labels on chocolate blocks now?

Cant anybody think for themselves nowadays?


Grrrrrrrrrrr

 

Far too many do gooders these days!

I mean, that doesn't look like the kind of bar a child would buy!

Does look nice though!

 

I think there are unfortunately far too many adults that could benefit from a lil nutrition education.
But then again, what's a disclaimer on a chocolate bar gonna do?

That sweet zingy raspberry looks yummy btw.
We don't have Cadbury here.
Send me some.

 

Hmm. That warning might actually discourage me from purchasing the product though.

 

I would buy it for someone else, and just drool!

 

humans being silly reacting to humans being silly.

 

its probably there for the american market...to sort of protect the company against some rediculous future fatty lawsuit

 

Someone's smartphone should have the label "Be Tweetwise. Too much Tweeting can be hazardous to a Presidency."

 

I think that kind of thing is a bit of an urban myth, as in I dont think you are going to see a succesful class action based solely on whether they have that label or not.

The infamous McDonalds hot coffee case succeded becuase the coffee was too hot. Only needs to be 80 degrees. The fact that they put warning labels on the cups aftefwards was just PR, they still had to make sure every coffee machine worldwide was spitting them out at 80 degrees.


More likely the label is about market research, reponse to food SJW type, who will be quietened if they feel they are given "the choice" not to eat too much junk food and be 60 pounds overweight, those and those they influence more likely to at least report they would buy the product

 

Love Cadbury but just the regular milk chocolate bar

 

It's gotta have the Caramello fillings.

 

Other stuff like this happens though such as, packets of chips are reduced in size to compensate for "1 serving portion" and things like that.

We live in a world full of spastics who can't regulate their own lives or diets.

 

I like there is changes taking place, with sugar..

It's needed, so many kids heading for health problems due to too much fat and sugar!

I can guarantee, that if you change your sugar in your staples to stevia, no one will notice!

And it's life changing! Ask any diabetic!

 

That Coke Life stuff with stevia instead of half the sugar

I tnink it tastes better than normal coke.

 

I don't really mind some of the changes: reducing single serving back of chips to an actual serving size, reducing sugar content in products intended for children, doong away with the 'supersize' culture. In a way, these changes are returning things to how they used to be, before America (and other Western countries) ballooned in waist size.

Although I was traveling internationally recently, and it really reinforced the stereotype that Americans have way too many safety rules and precautions forced upon us. It's out of control compared to other places I have traveled in the past.

 

Be Bug-wise. The Surgeon General has determined that excessive bug consumption can be hazardous to one's health.

I'm not a big coke drinker, but it is good in rum

Stevia is better for you, total plant! Sorbitol, and other chemical sweeteners, neither taste good, or kind to your gut!

Stevia is also good for cooking! Don't know how, but they have made amazing licorice with stevia! I can eat licorice till it comes out of my ears, but I've always eaten natural licorice, now I eat tons of stevia licorice, and if I'm lucky, my son doesn't eat it all on me! He says it tastes better!

Happy Fun Ball

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Fun_Ball

"However, this positive message about the innocuous-seeming toy was undercut by a much lengthier number of bizarre disclaimers and warnings, including "may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds" and "If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, seek shelter and cover head." Ingredients include "an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space"; said ingredients are not to be "touched, inhaled, or looked at" if exposed due to rupture. Viewers were also warned, "Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball." The sketch ends with a slogan for Happy Fun Ball: "Accept no substitutes!""

 

as a fan of breaking bad...i have trouble ingesting anything with stevia

 

I brought a new chocolate too. I normally don't make a big deal about disclaimers. As long as the chocolate taste delicious. Haven't tried it yet though.
