Warning Labels?

 The world doesn't need more warning labels since they're rarely read or if they are read the information is quickly discarded. Then of course there are those folks who should know better than to eat laundry pods but do it anyway as some stupid challenge but what about everyday items that most people wouldn't consider hazardous? Soy sauce for instance can be lethal in fairly small amounts because of the high salt content. Salt can be lethal if around 7.5 tablespoons are consumed (depending on body weight) and soy sauce contains 14 grams of salt per cup. It isn't a pretty way to die as your tissues try to move the fluids to a spot where it can be regulated but that usually doesn't work and the fluid goes to the lungs. Of course there is low sodium soy sauce if you feel the need to chug a bottle though that probably isn't a good idea either.
