Consumer Instructions on Labels
« on: 12 March 2010, 07:47:49 »

Some examples of why the human race probably has evolved as far as possible.

These are actual instruction labels on consumer goods:




On Sears hair dryer: "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 a Swann frozen dinner: "Serving suggestion: Defrost."

On a hotel-provided shower cap in a box: "Fits one head."

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of the 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 car or operate machinery."

On Nytol sleep aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."

On a Korean kitchen knife: "Warning: Keep out of children."

On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only."

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 Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

On a child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
