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." |

yea..i've read those before. pretty funny. don't some of the companies do that to prevent people from suing them for stupid stuff? like.. the whole stopping a chainsaw with hands or genitals and the 'do not use while sleeping' on the blowdryer.

They probaly put those instructions on there because when microwaves first came out a lady put her cat in the microwave to dry it off and well it explodes and so she sued the Microwave company for not placing the proper instructions.

hehe. Thats so sad. So freaking sad. The human race is going to shit I tell you. The worst thing about it, is that they got sued for the hair dryer thing, thats why they have to show the tag now. so sad.
