Dutch term or phrase: niets is te gek
Ruiken, krassen, on-pack premiums, niet is te gek voor onze booklet labels.

I have to finish this translation, but I am out of inspiration. I have already used the phrase "anything is possible" in the preceding sentence, so I'm looking for sth. different. A literal translation: 'nothing is too crazy' just does not sound right to me.
