Just read the label on my CoolGear can (with anchors design) from the Dollar Store.
Remember the funny/silly label on the pot roast? Barbara Carlson sent me the following label facsimile.

Barbara went on to say this . . .
Looked them up on the internet: “The certificate for this Website is invalid….”
But they do have a FB page: https://www.facebook.com/coolgearinc/
So there you have it. At least two companies are engaging in label behaviour they hope is engaging. Check out the labels near you.
Has any company ever put on a label that says: “Too much of this is a good thing!”?

Tom – I don’t know, but I’m going to start to look.
Or, you could put serious quotes or fun quotes on them like your goodies in the sidebar.
Laurna – 🙂 Glad you’re enjoying them.
The things we hold in our hands for months that fly below the radar.
Here’s another one: Bought a morning glory vine at Ritchie’s Feed and Seed (such a lovely
outdated name). The label said, re growth: Height 12″, width 12-15″ — the plant I brought home was almost twice that height.
John said the labels were probably bought by the thousands & made in China where the different between ” and ‘ meant nothing.
I guess it’s don’t believe every label you read — they could be messin’ with you —
or, find your fun where you can. 😀
Barbara – Yes, I hardly ever read labels, with the occasional exception of a new purchase. Clearly time to start.
