Scoop 0 #1 December 30, 2006 Why do items like jars of coffee and cans of Red Bull etc have printed on the back words to the effect of: "If your tired and driving, drink this and you'll be fine!" Does anyone else think thats irresponsible? If your tired and driving, find somewhere to stop! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoop 0 #3 December 30, 2006 I just find it odd that sleeping tablets have warning labels saying 'may cause drowziness' for fears of legal repurcussions, yet Nescafe & Red Bull etc don't have a problem in encouraging tired people to drive using their product! I might go and crash and sue the pants off them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very irresponsible, don't they know how difficult it is to hold the wheel at the same time as the can!When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

willard 0 #8 December 30, 2006 QuoteMaybe you open the can and another driver climbs out and takes over for you That kinda made sense to me, so I went down to the store and bought a can of Red Bull. Look who popped out when I opened it! Somehow I don't think we'll be getting much driving done. At least, not on the highway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loonix 0 #9 December 30, 2006 Don't you think people who blindly trust what they read on the back of a sodacan are slightly irresponsible too? perhaps even up for a darwin award Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I try to watch the amount of pop I drink so I don't need a can of red bull if I need to burn some midnight oil...=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cudlo 0 #11 December 30, 2006 QuoteDon't you think people who blindly trust what they read on the back of a sodacan are slightly irresponsible too? perhaps even up for a darwin award I'm more afraid of the people who need warning labels... like "HOT" on McDonald's coffee to tell them not to stick a paper cup full of coffee between their legs while driving._________________________________________ "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Kierkegaard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
