"Dumb Product Labels"
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.
On a Sear's hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."
(Gee that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)
On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details
inside."
(The shoplifter special)
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."
(i Don't think i've ever seen irregular soap)
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(But its "just" a suggestion)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside
down."
(Too late!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."
(damn and i was hoping it would stay frozen)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."
(But wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery
after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could
just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(One would hope.)
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only."
(what else could you do with them?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use."
(I gotta admit, I'm curious.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."
(Wow....thats sad)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat
nuts."
( Really i was confused i thought these were just tiny pillows)
On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you
to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame parents for this one.)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or
genitals."
(i say take the warning off, this would take care of the breeding problem)
