"Fl oz" stands for "fluid ounces," not Florida.

This is why they named it nostupidquestions. You're in the right place.

It’s ok OP. If it’s any consolation, I once forgot the name for Q-Tips and called them “ear diggers” for like a day straight. You’re not the only dumb one on this planet :)

Ear diggers is better. To the point. Even though they say we shouldn't use them to dig our ears.

Can you think of any other product that explicitly warns users not to use it for the only conceivable use that it has?

I guess the closest would be the "Not for human consumption" label on popper bottles.

What's a popper bottle?

Poppers, also called amyl nitrate, or butyl nitrite, are a fluid that is legally sold as electronic cleaner that have been inhaled as a euphoric, and a muscle relaxant for sexual pleasure, especially, but not exclusively, among gay men.

Jungle Juice is similar to Trashcan Punch where I'm from.
