Seen on a packet of Tesco's Finest Pork Fillet Dijonnaise (it was remaindered, OK?)

Caution: This product contains raw meat.

I never really believed in the tales of such warnings before. Must try to scan it for posterity...

There was a cartoon on TV for one season, a Ren & Stimpy near-clone called "Shnookums and Meat," from the creator of the beloved "Eek! the Cat." There was, actually, one good episode with the title characters, but the backup features were highly enjoyable (Pith Possum and Tex Tinstar).

So much for exposition. One day I was in the grocery store, possibly with my friend [livejournal.com profile] geckoman and saw a can of pasta product named after Shnookums & Meat. It contained no meat. Talk about a failure of Truth in Labelling!

I thought of that again more recently when I saw another product based on the popular (and entertaining) Christian kidvid "Veggie Tales." It was a pasta and meat product. Two wrongs don't always make a right, but when they're complementary, it works for me. The Comic Balance was back.
