What does it DO then

Do not soak??? so how do you wash it? 

[FretaBWet]

You dont need to wash it because it says "do not use as a cutting board" below do not soak it.

How can you buy a "wood chopping board" and then have the sticker say " do not use as a chopping board"???

um okay...well, seems you are damned if you do and damned if you dont.

Its clearly a spanking paddle.

Perhaps they meant not to break it as one might do in karate. 🤷

This reminds me of a vacuum I bought, a Dyson, that subsequently failed, and when I took it in for repair, the technician asked if I had a dog. I said I did. He said, well, pet hair isn't good for these types of vacuums. I turned the vacuum around and showed him where it was prominently embossed with the words "Pet Hair" on the body. I assumed, I said, that the labelling didn't accidentally omit the word "Avoid", and that they were, at least ostensibly, marketing the thing to people who might have pets.

It's clearly a decorative chopping board.

Presumably it's there because some sod, at some time, tried to get their money back because "it has knife marks all over it".

Well obviously, although you need to drill holes to cut down on the wind resistance.

The Dyson Animal is specifically marketed for pet hair, and I'm pretty sure the only difference is the brush design.

Because everyone is a moron these days who can't think for themselves or have any common sense!  Why?  "Alexa, do this and that for me so I don't have to use what few brain cells I have to think and do things for myself".

[AbabeBill]

Maybe it means, don’t use the chopping board, to chop another board? 🤪 Especially, if you go and soak it!!! Besides, you can use your head for chopping. 🤷‍♂️

[ValentinesStuff]

What am I going to do with all my broccoli?

 

 

PS: It does look a bit flimsy to chop wood on.

Its chineasium, honestly I would be afraid to use it even as firewood, for fear of the poison thats soaked into it.

And that's probably closer to the truth than we would want to believe.  It's probably coated with a lacquer or urethane sealer, which isn't "food grade" (since cutting/chopping boards aren't supposed to be "painted" with anything at all).

Or it could be arsenic treated wood. (But honestly, I'd expect Dunelm to do some due diligence)

Honestly, if I feel the need for a chopping board, I hit the lowes or whatever and snag a good chunk of pine board. Heck, been considering getting fancy and making one even, one of thoes really nice butcher block type ones.

When I was in 8th grade woodshop about 50 years ago we made thick cutting boards shaped like a big paddle.  Three pieces of wood glued together, then run through a planer, finish sanded and then coated with Lindseed oil to finish and protect it.  I still have and use mine all the time.

“Shaped like a big paddle. I still have and use mine all the time”. 
Still haven’t learned a lesson, and willing to behave, eh? 😄
