Stupid Things
In Honor of Stupid People . . .
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on
consumer goods.


On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) --
'Do not turn upside down.'
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)


==========================


On Sainsbury's peanuts --
'Warning: contains nuts.'
(talk about a news flash)

===========================




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 bulldozers.)


==========================



On Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding --
'Product will be hot after heating.'
(...and you thought????...)


=======================



On a Sears hairdryer --
Do not use while sleeping.
(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???....)


============================





On some Swanson frozen dinners --
'Serving suggestion: Defrost.'
(but, it's just a suggestion.)



========================



On packaging for a Rowenta iron --
'Do not iron clothes on body.'
(but wouldn't this save me time?)



==============================



On Nytol Sleep Aid --
'Warning: May cause drowsiness.'
(..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 an American Airlines packet of nuts --
'Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts.'
(Step 3: say what?)


===========================




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

Which is not easy when the rest of the house is fast asleep.

The Chainsaw one seems worth remembering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cookiemonster]

I remember a few from the last time I went shopping in the UK.

Sainsbury's Salmon, allergy advice, contains fish (no shoot sherlock!)

Timotei shampoo - this is not food/do not eat.



Do companies really think we are that stupid?

My favourite one was large Kitchen knife.........


"Keep out of Children...................."

Seen on back of truck - 'if you can't see my mirrors, then I can't see you'.

But still, the dumbass cyclists do not believe it.

 

[yorkshiregoth]

I heard about a childrens garden slide for sale and on the box (Children not included)

Good ones, in a similar vein to the "Serving Suggestions" that we see on packets and tins of food, particularly the ones where they just pour out the contents into a bowl..............like I thought I'd eat it from the tin!

 

[newbiebiker]

let's just say, they want us to laugh.

You aren't a real cycle tourist then are you..

 

[Sittingduck]

I did an Actual LOL at the Rowenta one ;-)

 

[Fnaar]

I worked as a hospital cleaner at weekends in the 6th form, and for a year later on (long story, don't ask )
On the floor polish we used, it said "Do not mix with other cleaners"... jeez, that was a lonely period

Ah, more surreal than that... When I worked at Iceland, we had own brand tinned tuna, and the label showed a design which was a drawing of a school of stylized fish. And it said "serving suggestion" on it!

Also, we sold a multipack of biscuits (Foxes I think) and the outer wrapper was just an enlarged version of the normal wrapper, so the biscuit depicted was about 6 inches across. And it said "Biscuit not shown actual size"

Excellent . I seem to remember that McDonalds print on their coffee cups 'contents may be hot'. Incredible
