Danger/Caution/Beware/Warning

Here's a good article that blew me away! Made me think.

What two colors do you think of when you think of warnings of danger or hazards? I think of yellow and red.....among others. But yellow and red right? Red means hot, war, stop, danger, hazards.......etc........ Yellow means: caution, slow down, be careful, pay attention. This article explains, and points out, that nature (coral snakes) and humans alike use these colors to warn you. So why does McDee's as well as other fast-food chains decorate their stores in red and yellow??? BECAUSE THEY ARE DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!! WATCH OUT! HAZARD! BEWARE! WARNING!!!

Read the article. Way cool.
