In fact we put so many things in our mouths we constantly have to be reminded what not to eat. Look at that little package of silicon gel that's inside your sneakers. It says DO NOT EAT for a reason. Somewhere sometime some genius bought a pair of sneakers and said Ooooh look. They give you free mints with the shoes

Summary

The quote suggests that someone at some point must have mistaken the gel packets for mints, sarcastically remarking on our inclination to expect unusual freebies, even with our shoes. Ultimately, the quote implies that reminders about what not to eat are necessary due to our inherent curiosity and occasional disregard for common sense.
