Guess Which Of These Crazy EU Laws Are ... - Business Insider

After Britain's annoyed the whole of the Europe, we thought it time to look at a great British past-time: "Euro-mything".?

If you're a regular reader of the British tabloids, you'll know that almost every week a story will emerge about a ridiculous initiative the EU has come up with.

But how many of these "crazy EU directives" are actually real?

Here's an example of some of the stories that have made it into the British tabloids:

• Banana's should not be too bendy.
• Waters does not hydrate you.
• Popular British snack "Mumbai Mix" had to change its name to "Bombay Mix".
• Prunes are not laxatives.
• Barmaids cannot show their cleav when serving customers.
• Turnips cannot be labeled "swedes", except in one place.
• Corgis are banned.
• Diabetics are banned from driving.
• Eggs cannot be sold by the dozen.
• European sports teams have to have the European flag on their uniforms.

We've taken a look at the validity of these claims. See if you can guess whether they're real initiatives or scare stories from the UK.?
