Stupid Labels




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






On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(Shoot, and 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 how???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowena iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more 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 forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and...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: maybe, ooh...fly Delta?)

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... was there alot of this happening somewhere?)

On a curling iron- - For external use only!(Like I was gonna swallow it)

On a pair of shin guards made for bicyclists—“Shin pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover.”(Oh darn, I didn’t know that)

On a birthday card for a 1 year old-- Not suitable for children aged 36 months or less. (smh... really?!)

On a portable stroller-- Caution: Remove infant before folding for storage. (Oops... too late!)


On a sign at a railroad station--"Beware! To touch these wires is instant death. Anyone found doing so will be prosecuted."
(oh well, I’ve always wanted to be laid to rest in a jail cell)

On a remote control for a TV --"Not dishwasher safe."
(*slap on the forehead* no comment)
