hossenfeffahhhhhh!!!

Once again, the internet has bequeathed its vast storehouse of knowledge upon me to answer any query I might dream up. This time around, it was "I wonder what would happen if you ate one of those silica packets that are clearly marked DO NOT EAT all over them?" The answer was but a Google search away. The short of it is, nothing much, as long as you're not an infant or some small furry pet.

The printed warnings, like most printed warnings, are to avoid litigation. Do we REALLY need to know not to use the microwave in the bath? Or not to use an iron while wearing the clothes we're ironing? Or place our brand new 60" projection TV on the ledge of a window? Not really. But some idiot out there probably does.
