Seriously on a pizza box

Beats me why... then I thought,

"I wonder if it's a misprint and they really meant 'open box before [u]h[/u]eating', suspecting that some people actually would be dim enough to try to heat it still in the packing?"

As Royrogers points out, pizzas are often packed with a plastic or plastic-coated card disc under them, which would not cook very well. Nor taste very nice.

All the ones I buy tell you to remove the pizza completely from the carton and cook it directly on the oven shelf.


Otherwise. like Matt85 suggests, the apparently foolish labels might be from fear of being sued by people whose misfortune is by their own idiocy, encouraged by rapacious lawyers to cash in on it - for the lawyers' own benefit by creaming off much of any compensation that may be awarded; [i]if [/i]the case comes to Court, and [i]if[/i] upheld. Such claims are often dismissed without any trial; and when solicitor-booking agencies formed in the UK to copy the American "ambulance-chasing" practice, most rapidly and rightly went bankrupt.

As for warnings not to drink battery acid, what of when everyone was assumed to have common-sense? Those late-19C / early-20C domestic advice compendia, written when you could buy all sorts of nasty raw chemicals for legitimate house and garden purposes, typically included a whole chapter on antidotes for various common acids and alkalis, arsenic, mercury, lead-oxides and other delightful substances!


It's not just domestic products. Earth-moving, agricultural and industrial machines are plastered in pictorial safety-stickers and stuffed with complicated safety interlocks. Building-sites are heavily fenced and their gates carry big displays of PPE signs: no safety-clothing, no work. They do not completely stop accidents, whose results can be appalling mutilations or horrible death; but modern trade law and practice makes our own homes often significantly more dangerous by [i]risk [/i] even though most domestic[i] hazards[/i] are significantly less extreme.


So yes, we can laugh incredulously at the most patronising labels, but really the manufacturers are only trying to stop dimwits potentially harming themselves then blaming the manufacturers!

It's to avoid lawsuits.

There will be chewing instructions next.

Years ago in workshop manuals it would tell/show you how to adjust things on your car, nowadays it tells you not to drink the battery acid. You would have to be seriously stupid too want to drink battery acid

It's worse than just stupid consumers, the idiot judges should be throwing cases out of court when they encounter some dumbass that wants to sue over hot coffee.

Must be an American thing.😂

Their lawyers know people make dirt look brilliant.

“Pastry may be hot when heated” on the Pop-Tarts box 😐

Ambulance chasing lawyers are the reason for most of the stupid things like that, some drunk idiot probably ate a pizza box and sued

Whenever you see a warning, know that somebody somewhere is the reason for it

Like bags of peanuts says "May contain traces of peanut"

Haha...stupid is as stupid does

The reasons are a liability issue. Somewhere sometime someone has sued over these very issues. As silly as it sounds but you can mostly blame the sue crazy Americans

With some supermarkets the pizzas have a polystyrene disc under it. I can imagine some people putting that in the oven

🤔

sometime the box taste better then the pizza inside

It's like in the USA they put in lawnmower instructions don't put hand In mower while running. We have a weather man here that (dumbbell) put hand in and lost half a hand.
There are really stupid people out there

Because people have no common sense and are that stupid nowadays 🤦🏻‍♀️

That is great marketing. You took it literally but they were playing marketing games. Some people will laugh at that (because it is ridiculous.) some will open the and drink in the smell and other like yourself will go on social media and ask why>? 🤪

They have to do that to avoid being sued by useless lazy people who cant get off their arses and work and just want an easy life on benefits as they are the only people who can afford such luxury

With some pizzas, you'd be better off eating the box.

As a person who lives through the 2020s, yes, people absolutely need that.

Honestly, it’s not going to change. There’s no consequence for the lawyers initiating the suit at the behest of their stupid clients.

Pizza class action lawsuits. No one expects molten cheese straight from an oven to burn that bad.

I think someone was having a piss at the pizza box design company.

peopje will sue

Might be the pizza tastes like cardboard ?

I think it’s quite fun really

Exactly

The thing is so many people will sue for anything

Oh shit yeah people are that stupid. And the scary part is there are even stupider people than that.

This is why I keep saying to people this is how civilizations fall. A progressive society coddles and takes care of all it's people so equally that the stupid elements accumulate to the point that it overwhelms the normal people and society starts becoming corrupt and just rotd from the inside.

Idiocracy is a prophecy not just a future documentary.
