In an aside to the Poisionous conversation. I found the following consumer
warnings you might find funny
Perhaps all you creative people on the chilli list may be able to think of
some for Chilli/Chili/Chillies/etc
My sugestions:
Warning eating Chillies may cure your ulcer
or
Warning eating Chillies may may you happy.
Warning chillies taste hot
??

doomed, here are some actual label instructions on
consumer goods:
