In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer
goods.
Hey everyone, check this out!!!!! Can you believe we are so
dumb?
1. On Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."*
(Gee, that's the
only
time I have to work* on my hair)
2. On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No
purchase* necessary.
Details inside."* (Evidently, the shoplifter special)
3. On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular
soap."* (And that
would be how. . . ?)
4. On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestions:
Defrost."* (But
it's *just* a suggestion)
5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on* bottom of box):
"Do not turn
upside down."* (Oops, too late!)
6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be
hot after heating."
(As night follows the day . . . .)
7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes
on body."* (But
wouldn't this save even more time?)
8. On Boot's Children's 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.)
9. On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause
drowsiness."* (One would hope)
10. On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or
outdoor use only."
(As opposed to what?)
11. On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the
other use."* (I
gotta admit, I'm curious.)
12. On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: Contains
nuts."* (NEWS FLASH)
13. On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: Open packet,
eat
nuts."* (Step 3: Fly Delta.)
14. 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.)
15. On a Swedish chain saw: "Do not attempt to stop chain
with your
hands."
(Was there a chance of this happening somewhere?...Good grief)
16. On a bottle of Palmolive Dishwashing liquid: "Do not
use on food."*
(Hey
Mom we're out of syrup! It's OK honey just grab the
Palmolive!)
17. On a tube of Crest Toothpaste: "If swallowed contact
poison control."
(Oh please! Have you ever heard about someone dying from
swallowing a
little
toothpaste?)
18. On a bottle of ALL laundry detergent: "Remove
clothing before
distributing in washing machine."* (Hey no more swimming
in the washing
machine kids.... Aww you mean we have to use the swimming
pool?)
