In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed by stupidity, here are some actual label instructions found on consumer goods: On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. 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. On a Swann frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But it's just a suggestion.) On Tesco's tiramisu dessert (printed on the bottom of box): Do not turn upside-down. On Marks & Spencer bread pudding: Product will be hot after heating. On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body. On Boot's children's cough medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."  On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: May cause drowsiness.  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. (I gotta admit, I'm curious.)  On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."  On an American Airlines packet of peanuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." 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 chain saw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

My System: Huge great Dish in Cyprus | The sad thing is that all these warnings have been put on these products because people have probably done all these things and sued because they have not been warned. People today sue for any reason and it basically dumbs down society. Still if people nowadays were able to use common sense we wouldn't have all these hilarious warnings. signed Sven the Rich Swedish Eunuch | ||
