Dumb Packaging Labels

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

1)  On a Sears hairdryer:  “Do not use while sleeping.”
  (Gee, that’s the only time I have to work on my hair.)

2)  On a bg of Fritos:  “You could be a winner!  No purchase necessary.  Details inside.”
(Evidently, the shoplifter special.)

3)  On a bar of Dial Soap:  “Use like regular soap.”
(And that would be how…?)

4)  In some Swanson frozen dinners:  “Servong suggestions: Defrost.”
(But it’s *just* a suggestion.)

5)  On Tesco’s Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box):  “Do not turn upside down.”
(DOH!!  Too late!)

6)  On Marks and Spencers Bread Pudding:  “Product will be hot after heating.”
(As night follows day…)

7)  On packaging for a Rowenta iron:  “Do not iron clothes on body.”
(But wouldn’t this save even more time?)

8)  On Boot’s Children’s Cough Medicine:  “Do not drive 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.)

9)  On Nytol Sleep Aid:  “Warning: May cause drowsiness.”
(One would hope.)

10)  On most brands of Christmas lights:  “For indoor or Outdoor use only.”
(As opposed to what?)

11)  On a Japanese Food Processor:  “Not to be used for the other use.”
(I have to admit, I’m curious.)

12)  On Sainsbury’s peanuts:  “Warning: Contains nuts.”
(NEWS FLASH)

13)  On an American Airlines packet of nuts:  “Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.”
(Step 3: Fly Delta)

14)  On a child’s Superman costume:  “wearing this garment does not enable you to fly.”
(I don’t blame the company, I blame the parents for this one.)

15)  On a Swedish chainsaw:  “Do not stop chain with your hands or genitals.”
(Was there a chance of this happening somewhere?  Good grief.)

16)  On a bottle of Palmolive Dishwashing liquid:  “Do not use on food.”
(Hey Mom, we’re out of syrup!  It’s okay, honey, just grad the Palmolive!)

17)  On a tube of Crest Toothpaste:  “If swallowed, contact poison control.”
(Oh please.  Have you ever heard of someone dying from swallowing a little toothpaste?)

18)  On a bottle of  ALL laundry detergent:  “Remove clothing before distributing on washing machine”
(Hey, no more swimming on the washing machine, kids.)
