A visitor from the U.S. got more than they asked for at a Toronto hotel restaurant when they ordered a cheeseburger on Monday night that was served with a waiver on the side.

Why has this been making some of the "news" recently?

Some corporation wanted to cover it's ass in the same my my work cafeteria warns about raw eggs when they serve Tiramisu.

I had to sign a waiver to try some hot sauce that was 2.5M+ on the Scoville scale.

    None of these waivers hold up in court here in Canada, like, at all.

    The hot sauce ones are generally just trying to make things feel "more extreme", trying to add theatrics to the experience.

    It wouldn't even hold up in this case: the waiver holds Hilton not liable when the guest eats food not prepared by the restaurant, when the guest is clearly eating food prepared by the restaurant.
