Here is proof that the human race is doomed because of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

  • On a electric hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (oops, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
  • On a bag of crisps: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)
  • On a bar of soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)
  • On some microwave frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).
  • On Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
  • On Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought???...)
  • On packaging for an electric iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)
  • On 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 a sleep-aid bottle: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...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 a packet of peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash!)
  • I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one: On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
