Warning labels are everywhere these days, reminding us that tobacco and alcohol are dangerous, that the foods we love have lots of calories and fat and salt. You know, just in case we start to think a margarita and a big cinnamon bun would make a healthy breakfast.

Under a color coding system, the drinks with the most caffeine have red marks beside them, and so on.
Yeah, whatever. Just get me another vente with a big red mark by it. And that jelly doughnut is looking pretty good, too… Here’s the story:
