RIDICULOUS!
A little plant slipped into my supermarket shopping basket yesterday - a dianthus to replace the one that is looking very forlorn at the allotment. Could not believe my eyes when I had a closer look at the label.
Race over to ABC Wednesday to find out more about the letter R.
Now that is ridiculous. Great post for R. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOh, ridiculous indeed!! What a fun post for the R day, Anna! Thanks for the giggle! Hope your week is going well!

Ridiculous, it is. Amazing what sort of warnings show up AND where.
ReplyDeleteOh no!! Why oh why??? Something is wrong in that label ^_^ Happy Wednesday!

Thanks for the laugh! Happy gardening!
ReplyDeleteI think I may snip a bit of my dianthus tomorrow morning to have with breakfast!
ReplyDeleteSome labels are quite incredible, and this one is certainly, as you say, Ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteAn alpine pink that should not be eaten.
ReplyDeleteThe world has gone mad.

*Sigh*
ReplyDeleteHave you ever noticed that there's a warning on some packets of nuts that they may contain nuts?
ReplyDeleteLOL, we have that sort of thing here too, drives me nuts.
ReplyDeleteHahaha ! just unbelievable !
ReplyDeletehaha..strange..
ReplyDeleteRidiculous indeed! We found a loaf of bread once which had a warning on it that it might contain shellfish!! Whaaaa ... ?
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that is just to funny :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic post for R!
ReplyDeleteit's a litigious world; probably necessary.

ReplyDeleteAnd just where do they think vegetables come from??:)
ReplyDeleteChuckled at some of the comments above, especially Jo's! We live in such a nanny hand-holding state, it drives me mad! But then again there are people that go shopping in their pyjamas - allegedly!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post.

For those of us who can't tell the spinach aisle in the store from the plant section....yikes! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is getting spooky - I have recently blogged about crazy labelling - and just before that I blogged about visiting Hampton Court Gardens!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll go and edit my May Contain Nuts post to link to this one: it's exactly the sort of thing I was talking about.
Well, since some plants are edible and you bought it at the supermarket... lol!
