In Honor of Stupid People
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. (Oh my, 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???...I think some people need to be shown this but that is
just my 2 cents.)
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 of 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 Sainsbury'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 hand (Oh my
Goodness...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
