In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed

through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer

goods that can be found today being sold in stores nationwide:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. On Sears hairdryer:
\"Do not use while sleeping.\"

(But..., that\'s the only time I have to work on my hair)



2. On a bar of Dial soap:

\"Directions: Use like regular soap.\"

(And that would be how. . . ?)



3. On some Swanson frozen dinners:

\"Serving suggestions: Defrost.\"

(But it\'s \"just\" a suggestion)



4. On Tesco\'s Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box):

\"Do not turn upside down.\"

(Oops, too late!)



5. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:

\"Product will be hot after heating.\"

(Hmm . . . .)



6. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:

\"Do not iron clothes on body.\"

(But wouldn\'t this save even more time?)



7. 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.)



8. On Nytol Sleep Aid:

\"Warning: May cause drowsiness.\"

(One would hope)



9. On most brands of Christmas lights:

\"For indoor or outdoor use only.\"

(As opposed to underwater?)



10. On a Japanese food processor:

\"Not to be used for the other use.\"

(I gotta admit, I\'m curious.)



11. On Sainsbury\'s peanuts:

\"Warning: Contains nuts.\"

(NEWS FLASH)



12. 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.)



13. On a Swedish chain saw:

\"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands.\"

(Was there a chance of this happening somewhere? . . . Good grief!)



14. 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!)

Hehe. Funny stuff there.

I remember one myself. On the bottom of a cup was written \"Other side for use\". I knew a lot at one point of time...

There was a chainsaw that was supposed to have a label reading:
\"Keep out of reach of children\"
I think.
It said:
\"Keep out of children\"
Warning! Severe health risks to serial child killers when using this product!

I remember that from so long ago. Brings laughter to me.

*Looks at salt ingredients*
contains:salt
me: well I knew that

The sad part is that people had to do those stupid things in order for them to put them on there (excluding the typos).

Thats both hysterically funny, and incredibly stupid....but this is a good thread.:lol:

Unfortunately, I think it\'s to prevent lawsuits.

\"Durrrrr I have a peanut allergy that almost kills me, so I\'m going to eat this peanut brittle and sue them because the ingredients didn\'t say \'Allergy information: CONTAINS NUTS.\' hyuck hyuck hyuck.\"

Yeah... Everyone knows the hot chocolate story...

Lady:1 Hot Cocoa please.
*spills*
Lady: My God, you didn\'t tell me this was hot Hot Cocoa!:lol:

McDonalds lost a lot off that one.

Yeah, and everyone knows \"I\'ll sue McDonalds because they made me fat.\"

Here\'s one from a Tesco Computer Vacuum:

\"If this item is operated with rechargebale betteries these are to be removed from the item before being charged.\"

This reminds me of something I saw once on a pack of vending machine Pop-Tarts:

\"Best if eaten before\"

That\'s all it said. By the time I saw this, I had already eaten the Pop-Tarts.

I had an atomic fireball or something like that it said \" Caution product is spicy\"

My english teacher was telling us about a billboard once that said \"Their Back\" instead of \"They\'re back\". I can\'t remember what she said the billboard was advertising.

That was some good stuff, and your right at this rate stating the ovoius will be as important as breathing.

I was cleaning some electronics with Ethenyl Alcohol last night and ono the side it said Warning Product is 100% alcohol. Well, where did they learn that the idiots guide to the bloody obvious.
