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 Sears hairdryer: Do
not use while sleeping. ( and 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." (and that would
be how???....)
On some Swanson frozen
dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's
"just" a suggestion).
On Tesco's Tiramisu
dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down.
"(well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
On Marks & Spencer
Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)
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." (and...I'm taking
this because???....)
On most brands of
Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to...what)?
On a Japanese food
processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now,
somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Sunsbury's peanuts:
"Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)
On an American Airlines
packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
On a child's superman
costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to
fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for
this one.)
On a Swedish chainsaw:
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or
genitals." (..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
