ObOffTopic: I just ate a bag of Bombay Mix. 

On the back: "Warning - made in a factory where nuts are processed".

Bombay mix typically contains at least one sort of nuts, clearly visible
*through*the*clear*plastic*.

ObFolkloreCorrection:

McDonalds served their coffee at ~90C. Scalding temperature. A series of
prior cases existed in which people had been burned badly by the
coffee. McDonalds had not done anything about the temperature of the
coffee. Damages were awarded in part because this was *yet*another* such case.
