Does it really say that on a Superman costume? If it does, I'm tempted to buy one and wear it with that prominently displayed!

Does it really say that on a Superman costume?

It certainly used to. I had one as a kid and remember the warning. (I also remember thinking how stupid it was at the time. Everybody knows that, I thought. But as I recall the warning was printed (in yellow) on the tail of the shirt, which would be tucked into the pants unless you want to run around looking like Superman just got out of bed.
Also I'm pretty sure they don't make that particular costume in your size.
