That reminds me of one of the best SNL spoof commercials of all time – “Super Happy Fun Ball,” where the list of disclaimers rivaled those of today’s prescription drug ads.

One warning being: “Do not taunt Super Happy Fun Ball.”

I think this may be in response to an applegeeks comic in which hawk was found with three or four of the things in his mouth, and a very satisfied look on his face. :)

If the plastic of the shuffle is made of slightly toxic material, this is not harmful when only using the shuffle. However, when eating, this might be. To prevent lawsuits for people who didnt know you cannot put it in your mouth (ie children) they put this weird looking line into the manual.

I think it’s because on the original website/press photos, the Shuffle was shown next to a pack of chewing gum to illustrate how small it is. Guess that’s what you get in a countr where microwave ovens contain warnings not to use them for drying your hamster ;-)

It’s because when the Shuffle came out, they compared it to a stick of chewing gum (size-wise) and so it’s a warning, not to get the two confused.

People may be geophagic and not even realize it… clays like bentonite are used as an additive in foods such as candy bars and yogurt.
