Idiotic labels?

Some examples of why the human race has probably evolved as far as possible. These are actual instruction labels on consumer goods...





On Sears hairdryer:


Do not use while sleeping.


(Gee, that%26#039;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 Swann frozen dinners:


Serving suggestion: Defrost.


(But it%26#039;s %26#039;just%26#039; a suggestion!)





On Tesco%26#039;s Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box)


Do not turn upside down.


(Too late! you lose!)





On Marks %26amp; Spencer Bread Pudding:


Product will be hot after heating.


(Are you sure? Let%26#039;s experiment.)





On packaging for a Rowenta iron:


Do not iron clothes on body.


(But wouldn%26#039;t that save more time?)


(Whose body?)





On Boot%26#039;s Children%26#039;s cough medicine:


Do not drive car or operate machinery.


(We could do a lot to reduce the construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.)





On Nytol sleep aid:


Warning: may cause drowsiness.


(One would hope!)





On a Korean kitchen knife:


Warning: keep out of children.


(hmm...something must have gotten lost in the translation...)





On a string of Christmas lights:


For indoor or outdoor use only.


(As opposed to use in outer space.)





On a food processor:


Not to be used for the other use.


(Now I%26#039;m curious.)





On Sainsbury%26#039;s peanuts:


Warning: contains nuts.


(but no peas?)





On an American Airlines packet of nuts:


Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.


(somebody got paid big bucks to write this one...)





On a Swedish chainsaw:


Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands.


(Raise your hand if you%26#039;ve tried this...)





On a child%26#039;s Superman costume:


Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.


(Oh go ahead! That%26#039;s right, destroy a universal childhood belief.)
