Product 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 a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
            (I would laugh but I have a friend whom does this!)
-----
On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
            (Please steal me to find out!)
-----
On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap."
            (What were they thinking about?)
-----
On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
            (But I like breaking my teeth on frozen Hungry Man dinners!)
-----
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
            (Doh!)
-----
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
            (Say it isn’t true!)
-----
On packaging for a Rowenta Iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
            (In a hurry? Like pain? Out of Bengay?)
-----
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
 (We could save quite a bit on industrial accidents if we could just get those 3 year-olds with head-colds off construction sites!)
-----
On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
 (The coughy, snorty, take a hit and wake up on the kitchen floor medicine!)
-----
On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."
            (Sounds all inclusive to me!)
-----
On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."
            (I am almost afraid to ask….)
-----
On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
            (Well, no false advertising I guess!)
-----
On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
            (As opposed to?)
-----
On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
            (Were I not guilty of this one myself…….)
-----
On a Swedish (Husqvarna) chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
            (OMG!  I am glad they warned me on that one!)
