While doing some shopping in Aldi this afternoon I spotted this sign.

I know that vendors have to be careful, but do they think we're all stupid?

Michele, you've had IT folks ask what a .pdf is. So Aldi is being helpful and allowing for the fact that some people are a bit.... special!

Tesco's version of Weetabix has a warning about containing wheat, even though it's called something like: "Tesco Wheat Biscuts. Made from 100% pure wheat."

Aldi thinks "we were dumb" or "we are dumb"? (we're)

@Laura - nicely spotted. I'll fix that!

I have to agree with Laura on this.
Anything that helps not getting sued by so called "dumb" people it's worth a large sign like that.

So how exactly does a sign contain nuts?

And to make it worse - the warning is on the wrong side - the arrow points to empty space.
