pecola Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. -------------------------------------------------------------- On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (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???....) -------------------------------------------------------------- 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 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 those bulldozers.) -------------------------------------------------------------- On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (...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: say what?) -------------------------------------------------------------- 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 hands or genitals." (Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?) -------------------------------------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
