Ever looked at the directions on any can of Amy's Organic Soups? I took one off the shelf fearing it would take longer than I wanted, and what do I find?

"Heat and serve. Please do not overcook."

I appreciate the simplicity, but I prefer a little precision in my instructions. In particular, the only way to know what constitutes overcooking is to find out the hard way. Fortunately, it came out okay the first time I tried.

I'm also amused by the word "please," implying that Amy's is afraid someone might overcook on purpose just for masochism. And if it's lawsuit repellent, all the more reason they may want to be more specific.

I think it's for lawsuit purposes. People are so sensitive nowadays.
