On Packaging
As part of my "new" job, I subscribed to a mag called "Packaging Digest". They send me daily "news" from the packaging world and obviously felt the need to lighten up my day by sending me the following list of surreal warnings found on packaging:
-- Packaging Digest, 9/10/2008 1:28:00 PM
Printed on the bottom of Tesco Tiramisu dessert:
Do not turn upside down.
On a bag of Fritos:
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
On a bar of Dial soap:
Directions: Use like regular soap.
On some Swanson frozen dinners:
Serving suggestions: Defrost.
On Sears hair dryer:
Do not use while sleeping.
On Marks and Spencer Bread Pudding:
Product will be hot after heating.
On Boot's Children's Cough Medicine:
Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication.
On Nytol Sleep Aid:
Warning: May cause drowsiness.
On most brands of Christmas lights:
For indoor or outdoor use only.
On a Japanese food processor:
Not to be used for the other use.
On Sainsbury's peanuts:
Warning: Contains nuts.
On a child's Superman costume:
Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
On a Swedish chain saw:
Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals.
On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.
On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
Do not iron clothes on body.
It's strange that at the time Dilbert would feature two strips about ERP Systems, which is what I configure for the packaging industry. The one below is already being passed round our office cos it's exactly what happened at one of our customer's offices.
