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

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 Frito's -- '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?)
======================================

The hot food one reminds me of why it says 'Warning, contents hot' on the McDonalds coffee.

Apparently someone (I think it was a woman driver) bought some Coffee and she didn't realise that coffee was made with boiling water... so she drove along and somehow managed to spill coffee on herself. She sued McDonalds because they didn't point out the obvious - HOT DRINKS which are made by BOILING WATER and then INSULATING to keep them WARM might just tingle the skin when you spill it down yourself.

:-[


The last one is funny. Obviously the people in 'that shock video that shant be named to protect me' where 2 men "remove themselves" read the warnings and used other equipment.

On shampoo bottles it says: Lather, Rise, Repete.

...Well you know there is some idiot still in the shower because it doesn't say to dry your hair and try it again tomorrow. ;D
