    In case you needed proof that the Human Race is doomed, here are some actual label instructions from various international consumer products??? ..................

    On a blanket from Taiwan:
    NOT TO BE USED AS PROTECTION FROM A TORNADO.

    On the bottle top of a British flavoured milk drink:
    AFTER OPENING, KEEP UPRIGHT.

    On a New Zealand insect spray:
    THIS PRODUCT NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS.

    In an American guide to setting up a new computer:
    TO AVOID CONDENSATION FORMING, ALLOW THE BOXES TO WARM UP TO ROOM
    TEMPERATURE BEFORE OPENING.
    (Sensible, but the instructions are INSIDE the box.)

    On a packet of American Sunmaid raisins:
    WHY NOT TRY TOSSING OVER YOUR FAVOURITE BREAKFAST CEREAL?

    On an American Sears hairdryer:
    DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING.

    In a bag of American Fritos brand Corn Chips:
    YOU COULD BE A WINNER! NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. DETAILS INSIDE.
    (The shoplifter's special!)

    On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of the box):
    DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN.

    On a Korean kitchen knife:
    WARNING: KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN.

    On a string of Chinese made Christmas lights:
    FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
    (As opposed to use in outer space?)

    On a Japanese food processor:
    NOT TO BE USED FOR THE OTHER USE.
    (Now I am curious!)

    On British Sainsbury's peanuts:
    WARNING CONTAINS NUTS.
    (Really?)

    On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
    INSTRUCTIONS OPEN PACKET, EAT NUTS.
    (I'm glad they cleared that up.)

    On a Swedish chainsaw:
    DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP CHAIN WITH YOUR HANDS OR GENITALS.
    (What kind of consumer phone?call led to this warning?)

    On a Canadian child's Superman costume:
    WEARING OF THIS GARMENT DOES NOT ENABLE YOU TO FLY.
    (That's right, destroy a universal childhood fantasy!)

    On some British frozen dinners:
    SERVING SUGGESTION: DEFROST.

    On a hotel provided shower cap in a box:
    FITS ONE HEAD.

    On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
    DO NOT IRON CLOTHES ON BODY.

    On a British Boot's "Children's" Cough Medicine:
    DO NOT DRIVE CAR OR OPERATE MACHINERY.

    On a British Nytol Sleep Aid Tablets label:
    WARNING: MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS.
    (Duh!)

    On British Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
    PRODUCT WILL BE HOT AFTER HEATING.
    (Are you sure?)
