yellowhordeBecause my sister, Shirley, is awesome enough to forward me some intereting and funny stuff via e-mail, I present the following:
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.
On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap.
On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost.
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "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 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.
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.
On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts.
On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.
On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.
On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals.
…
…
(Holy Shit! Has someone actually tried to DO that?!?)
