Absurd Warning Labels and Instructions
In case you needed further proof that the human race is
doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions
on consumer goods...
- On Sears 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." (Evidently, 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 suggestions:
Defrost." (But it's *just* a suggestion)
- On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box):
"Do not turn upside down." (Oops, too late!)
- On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot
after heating." (As night follows the day. . . .)
- On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes
on body." (But wouldn't this save even more time?)
- 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.)
- On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(One would hope)
- 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." (I got to admit, I'm curious.)
- On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: Contains nuts."
(NEWS FLASH)
- On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions:
Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: 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 parents for this one.)
- On a Swedish chain saw: "Do not attempt to stop chain
with your hands or genitals." (Was there a chance of
this happening somewhere? Good grief)
- 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!)
- 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?)
- On a bottle of ALL laundry detergent: "Remove clothing
before distributing in Washing machine." (Hey no more
swimming in the washing machine kids.... Awe you mean
we have to use the swimming pool?)
