Actual instructions found on products:


On a Sear's hairdryer:
"Do not use while sleeping."

(Rats! and 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 how???....)

***

On some Swanson frozen dinners:
"Serving suggestion: Defrost."

(but, it's "just" a suggestion.)

***

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on the 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 more time?)

***

On Boot's Childrens' 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 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

***

On Nytol Sleep Aid:
"Warning: May cause drowsiness."

(and...I'm taking this because???....)

***

On one brand 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: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

***

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 ...was there a lot of this happening
somewhere?)

Just bought one of those long butane lighters for starting charcoal, pilot lights, etc. On the package it said "Do not use near open flame" ???????????
