Actual label instructions on consumer goods
On a Myer hairdryer: “Do not use while sleeping”. – (Darn, and that’s the only time I have to work on my hair).
On a bag of Chips: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. – Details inside. (The shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Palmolive soap: “Directions: Use like regular soap”. – (And that would be how???)
On some frozen dinners: “Serving suggestion: Defrost”. – (But, it’s just a suggestion).
On Nanna’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 K-Mart 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 Nobby’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, uh…fly Delta?)
I don’t blame the company, I blame the parents for this one:
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”.
(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
