Stupid Snus Warnings

So, I scored a pretty awesome hoodie. I wear this kind of shit all the time, so when I saw it, I was stoked.

Except one problem…

Right under the General logo is a little thing that says “This product is not a safe alternative to cigarettes.”

And guess what… there’s another on the back, too.

It makes something that is awesome almost unwearable… but I had a plan…

I was able to get the warning off the rad hat I got. But that was stitched on — five minutes with a knife and it was off.

The hoodie warning, however, is ironed or printed or something fancy… Knife doesn’t seem to do much… now what?

I read up on removing this kind of thing online… There are several options but one sounds the most promising.

Basically, you iron it off. By using wax paper in between the iron and the bullshit warning, magic properties of heat+wax are supposed to remove it…

One thing I didn’t consider was just how long this would take.

After about 25 minutes and nine feet of wax paper, we went from this:

to this:

An improvement, but it’s still there and I no longer care. Maybe I’ll give it a another try some time soon…

Stupid snus warnings.
