If you can swallow a D battery,
you got problems anyway…

Found in a 4 pack of AA batteries in Austria.
Some have written in to say that the
illustration is from Homestarrunner.

Wait a minute… that’s a picture from homestarrunner.com!
Sorry, this one’s fake.
Don’t eat them raw. Batter is not included.
Mmmmm … Batteries!
While it’s true that the drawing is from the surreal comedy site Homestar Runner (original drawing here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/–Nn_xkr4qik/T62TSfkCiqI/AAAAAAAAPa4/-B7SpzYmj9Q/s1600/eating-one-battery_big.gif) I think the creators of this warning had no idea of the drawing’s origin, which makes it even funnier than it would be otherwise. It’s kind of like the Queen bootleg CD which has a picture of the Beatles on the cover.
