Dumbest Consumer Labels

1. On Sears hairdryer:

"Do not use while sleeping."

(But..., that's the only time I have to work on my hair)


2. On a bar of Dial soap:

"Directions: Use like regular soap."

(And that would be how. . . ?)


3. On some Swanson frozen dinners:

"Serving suggestions: Defrost."

(But it's "just" a suggestion)


4. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box):

"Do not turn upside down."

(Oops, too late!)


5. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:

"Product will be hot after heating."

(Hmm . . . .)


6. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:

"Do not iron clothes on body."

(But wouldn't this save even more time?)


7. On Boot's Children's 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.)


8. On Nytol Sleep Aid:

"Warning: May cause drowsiness."

(One would hope)


9. On most brands of Christmas lights:

"For indoor or outdoor use only."

(As opposed to underwater?)


10. On a Japanese food processor:

"Not to be used for the other use."

(I gotta admit, I'm curious.)


11. On Sainsbury's peanuts:

"Warning: Contains nuts."

(NEWS FLASH)


12. On a child's Superman costume:

"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."

(I don't blame the company, I blame parents for this one.)


13. On a Swedish chain saw:

"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands."

(Was there a chance of this happening somewhere? . . . Good grief!)


14. On a bottle of Palmolive Dishwashing liquid:

"Do not use on food."

(Hey, Mom, we're out of syrup! It's OK, honey, just grab the Palmolive!
