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.
(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.
*On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap."
*On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
*On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
* On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
*On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
*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 bulldozers.)
*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 an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet,eat nuts."
*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."
(Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
