Repeating an old comment by myself:

Some idiots are using the extremely scary-looking radiation symbol (or something too similar) to sell soda, for example:

* https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Radioactive-Mulberry-Marciano-In...

* http://rad-60.com.ar/ [1]

IIUC this is just water with sugar and a fluorescent dye, not radioactive material (except the natural amount of radioactive deuterium and potassium, that is not enough to make it glow).

[1] Thanks to kragen for the second link in a reply in my old comment. I remembered the advertisement in tv, but I couldn't find the exact name or webpage.

Is that idiocy even legal? We had the mirror case at a previous workplace once, when an arts class drew artsy warning signs, but then they hung them up in the Science Building to serve as genuine warning signs. Several "Emergency Exit" signs went about the doors, there was a neat "Inflammable" sign on the steel cabinet for solvents & so on.
