In Honour of Stupid People

In Honour of Stupid People . . . 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.' (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?)
