30th birthday card not suitable for children under 36 months

[Captain Muppet]

I just bought a 30th birthday card which says "happy 30th birthday" in huge letters on the front.

On the back it says "not suitable for children under 36 months".

It might be bought by, or on behalf of, a small child, and written by them.

The warning seems appropriate.

I bought a bag of peanuts... warning on it says that it might contain nuts.

(just in case peanut allergy sufferers didn't know)

It may contain nuts which are not listed on the packet.
Ideally the packet shouldn't contain any nuts, but the warning is there to cover them in case one, or more, sneaks in.

As for the birthday card, any googly eyes, detachable pieces or plastic wrapping? Failing that probably just there because the manufacturer didn't see the point of testing to 'child's toy' standards.

It has two bits of card, in the shape of a 3 and a 0, glued to the front, plus some glitter.

I understand why the label is there, I just found it funny.

Peanuts are not actually nuts, they are a legume (like beans and peas).
Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Cashew, and Walnuts are not nuts either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nut_(fruit)
A little pedantic, but factually correct.

I did originally start the post with 'It may contain other nuts people have allergies too.' Then realised someone was going to do it
