Do not pour boiling water into the merchandise

[ashling]

This was on the bottom of a plastic ice tea glass my wife bought. Made in China

reminds me of the tags on pillows and mattresses. As a kid I had this unnerving fear that the police were going to come arrest me at any minute because I once tore one of those tags off of my pillow.

1. Probably good advice in this case...

cheap plastic degrades in hot water. Can release some pretty nasty stuff.

I'd pay attention to this warning.

2. My mother also had that fear and left the damn tags on

the pillows. She is 85 now and whenever she tries to pick a fight with me, I just go and hold one of her pillow/tags hostage with scissors.

3. LOL!

At 85 she's got much more experience in how to win a fight!

4. She just cries and screams till I break down

and let her have her way. Something she figured out before she was 35. It only works with the brothers. My sister is delighted to let her cry.

5. I was the same way as a kid -

heck, I'm the same way as an adult. I leave the tags on.

6. Funniest cartoon of ALL TIME--

from the New Yorker mag, (circa 1975), shows a small house that's surrounded! by cops, SWAT teams, tanks, troops jumping out of trucks, artillery, cop cars with lights on, helicopters circling, snipers on the roof--you get the idea. there's one guy in a trenchcoat and hat at the door, and the resident cracks the door open and sticks his head out--and the spook says, "We understand you tore the little tag off your mattress."
