Human Stupidityq

Kraken

Just in case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed
through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on
consumer goods:

On a Sear's hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping." (Gee, 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
its "just" a suggestion)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside
down." (Too late!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after
heating." (As night follows day . . .)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (But
wouldn't this save me more time?)

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 forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (One would hope.)

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." (I
gotta admit, I'm 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: 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 parents for
this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands
or genitals." (Was there a lot of this happening somewhere? My God!)

Nice1 kraken you have enlightened me. I've noticed that peanut one before!

Well speaking of the peanut one, that warning is there because peanuts arent actually nuts, they are tubers. I don't know why they are called peanuts but the reason they carry the warning is because they are usually processed in the same factory as nuts are and so there may be traces of nuts in them, so that is a stupid one, and in fact there are explanations for every single one of them, I just forget where.

No need for flames. Nuts can cause mortal alergic reactions and it's a necessary warning - someone could die if they ingested a peanut with a trace of "nut" on it.
