Basic Trope: An evil product has a warning on the label declaring it to be evil.
- Straight: Killer Kola is a Psycho Serum which has a small print warning label on the can declaring that it may contain traces of evil.
- Exaggerated:
- Killer Kola is a Psycho Serum that has a huge yellow and black warning label on the can declaring it might contain tiny amounts of evil.
- The label is ridiculously small.
- Downplayed: "Killer Kola may contain baby tears, virgin blood, and various other ill-gotten ingredients."
- Justified:
- The company that sells Killer Kola does not want to be sued by someone for not listing evil on the ingredients list.
- Killer Kola works on a contract with hell. Insidious shrink-wrap contracts work but only if it makes its nature abundantly clear. Hell only has a claim on those who give themselves to it.
- Inverted: Goody Gummy Bears has a label declaring it contains massive levels of goodness.
- Subverted: Killer Kola doesn't have a label declaring traces of evil.
- Double Subverted: ...Unless you view the can under a black-light.
- Parodied: The label reads "May contain traces of New Jersey".
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Killer Kola doesn't contain evil.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: "Look, it even has a warning label!"
- Invoked: The FDA won't let the Killer Kola Company sell its products unless they stick the warning label on.
- Exploited: Killer Kola is a completely normal soft drink. The "evil" warning label was only put there to appeal to edgy teenagers, rebels, and Card Carrying Villains — all of whom would have gladly committed evil deeds, Psycho Serum or no.
- Defied: "What, warn our victims they're ingesting evil? Screw that!"
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: With such an obvious warning label, it doesn't take long for the Trope City police department to connect Killer Kola to a recent, massive spike in murders and arrest the Killer Kola Company's evil CEO. Plus, people boycott the company.
