A nearby store has this sign that kinda reminds me of What the Tortoise Said to Achilles:

Products marked with <a drawing of a rectangle containing the words "This product can be heated at your request"> can be heated at your request!

Definitely not making this up. Showed this today to my girlfriend who was speechless upon exiting the store.

You should recurse one level deeper and put a sign outside the store saying "Products marked <a drawing of a rectangle containing the words "This product can be heated at your request"> purchased in stores marked with <a drawing of a sign saying "Products marked with <a drawing of a rectangle containing the words "This product can be heated at your request"> can be heated at your request!"> can be heated at your request!"

No real reason to stop at only one level, is there? X-D
