No, I don't think so, but Apple would not let such frivolous copy be a 
part of the webpage - at least not for long if it was a prank by some 
lowly webmaster. 

Of course I don't think that there could be a case made that the 
comparison of a plastic-encased consumer electronics device to a pack of 
gum would imply that it's edible (iPod), but again, there is that 
warning right there on the web page.

Yep.

Yep.

Danger!  Coffee is hot!  Remember that fiasco with McDonald's?
