Okay in my possesion I have a bottle of de-icer, on the side it contains the advice 'If consumed seek medicle advice'; nowhere on the bottle does it actually state 'Don not drink...'. So I'm thinking I drink some, go to hospital, sue for ca$h, big bucks!
Obviously I am not foolish enough to embark upon this scheme without first consulting the advice of proffesionals...yeah...so what should I do?

Eat a lot of ice first. :D

Hello, lawsuit. How are you doing?

If you're in heavy money trouble, if you want to then go ahead. If you're doing it just for kicks.. uh... I don't think it's such a great idea.

Co-workers. Do it. They'll thank you when the money rolls in, or if they die, at least they won't hold a grudge

Don't do it, you really don't need the money. Me, however I do, and you don't find many bottles that afford you such an opportunity.

Those instructions are not listed because they assumed common sense.

Please don't prove them wrong. If you know it's not supposed to be done, then don't do it.

In addition, what would be your claimed excuse for drinking it? You were thirsty?

Brilliant! :D
It's a victimless crime, like punching somebody in the dark.

I wouldn't reccomend doing so unless you can get yourself a good lawyer for cheap, or you happen to know somebody that specializes in that specific area of law, AND you don't mind making yourself sick.

Somehow, I don't think you'll have a case...

I think de-icer is basicly rubbing alcohol isn't it? I hope you are prepared to enter the wonderful world of blindness.

Kent Brockman: Springfield has come down with a fever: football fever. If you have the fever, there's only one cure. Take 2 tickets, and see the game Sunday morning.
Public Service Announcer: Warning. Tickets should NOT be taken internally.
Homer: See? Because of me, now they have a warning

Its because of people like you that we have all these stupid lawsuits to laugh over. So, bring on the comedy!

Thats great. You'll provide fodder for the notion that suites against corporations are frivolous, fan the flames of 'rightious indignation' making it easier for lawmakers to strip away our ability to hold corporations accountable for what they do, leaving us even more at their mercy.

Fantastic. I hope you get a new car.

Victimless? Do it and the rest of us pay higher insurance premiums, and the price of de-icer goes up, and likely the price of every product the manufacturer makes. Taxpayers foot the bill for the court costs of people knowingly doing dumb stuff and suing after the fact in an attempt to place blame elsewhere for their own stupid actions.

Go ahead. You'll have to show actually damages of course, but I am sure the structured settlement you get of around $800,000 dollars when your skanky plaintiffs attorney sells you out because he needs the money to cover up the conversion of previous clients funds will more than make up for living the rest of your life without eyesight and a colon.

Have fun.

is that methyl alcohol?

do you want to go blind?

maybe if you consume a small ammout you won't

and you'll be rich


up to you, let me know how everything turned out

Oh grow up. Big companies have gobs and gobs of liquid assets. They don't pass on costs to customers, they just write it off. :D

I love it when people devise intricate plans to be part of the problem.

You know what, my window doesn't say "don't eat" on it. I think I'll break it and swallow all the glass.

Ah, yes, 'reasonable under all the circumstances'. I remember that rule.

No, crush it up and snort it. What the hell, it kind of looks like really good crystal meth.

Yeah, it's like in McDonalds, which is similair to the lottery, if you find a finger, you're one of the lucky few.

You're an idiot!
