A man bought a bottle of medicine from the pharmacy and took it home. After consuming a few doses, he was hospitalized for stomach problem. The doctor at the hospital told him the medicine was not for consumption but for external application only.

Angered at the lack of warning, the man took the half emptied bottle back to the pharmacy and started berating the man behind the counter.

"Why didn't you warn me that it was poisonous and not fit for consumption?"

"It's written on the label. You should read the instruction before using it."

"There's nothing written there!!! Where does it say poisonous?" The man was getting really mad now. He had scrutinized the bottle and found no warning, not even the skull which indicates danger.

The man behind the counter took the bottle and pointed to the words for the customer to see. And sure enough, three little words were seen at the bottom of the label:

"MADE IN CHINA" shake
