Wierd caution on food label

Please don't think I'm stupid for asking about this. I bought these things at the grocery store yesterday called Pizzelle. It's an Italian Style Cookie. Made by Reko (a product of Canada) and while I'm looking at the ingredients on the back I notice it says "CAUTION: CAN BE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE". Now I tend to believe alot of phony stuff. Is this just a marketing tool? Am I being silly and paranoid? I have never seen anything like this on a food label before. They also say there are no trans fat. I'm a little hesitant to eat them. Here are the ingredients.

Flour, sugar, liquid whole egg, canola oil, soya lecithin (release agent), vanilla flavor, caramel (color agent), baking powder, salt.

"We are proud of our ingredients. The best ingredients and NO PRESERVATIVES."

Serving size: 6 cookies (these are really thin).

Calories: 140
Total Fat: 6g
Cholesterol: 15mg
Sodium: 55mg
Total Carbs: 19g
Fiber: 0g
Sugars: 8g
Protein: 3g

What do you guys think?

Don't feel stupid or silly for asking anything here, Kimbra!!!

I would tend to think that this is just a marketing ploy and not to be taken seriously....:)

Oooh, I love those Italian style cookies. :) They ARE highly addictive. :) They go down easy, crunch, crunch, crunch. :)

I think they sound really tasty! Those are the same ingredients I would use to bake cookies at home (well, except for the soy lechitin and caramel color). :) I say eat 'em up!

And now, I'm gonna have to go find me some of these Reko cookies...
 
Kimbra - I have never seen this before! I definitely will check it out.

As one of those "crazy marketing folks" myself, I can tell you this is probably just some good old fashioned marketing. Many claims can't be made about a product legally - especially on food. I suppose they're using this as some sort of tagline or something.

Interesting, nonetheless... :)
 
OK I just ate 2. They are REALLY GOOD!!! I'm putting my strawberries on them. The other girl here at work ate one too. I think I'm going to leave them here at work because I could get into trouble with these at home.
