In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.
On Woolworth's Tiramisu dessert (printed on the bottom)
"Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)
On Pick n' Pay's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)
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 bulldozers.)
On a Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding
"Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)
On a Clicks hair dryer - Do not use while sleeping.
(That's the only time I have to work on my hair.)
On a bag of Simba Chips --
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary!
Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dove soap -
"Directions: Use like regular soap."
(and that would be???....)
On some Checkers frozen dinners -
"Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(please note that it's just a suggestion.)
On the packaging of a Rowenta iron -
" Don't 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 some brands of Christmas lights of Eastern origin:
"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, please help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
Instructions on a S A A irways packet of peanuts -
[1] Open packet;
[2] Eat nuts.
(Step 3: say what?)
On a child's Superman costume:
"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(Don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)
On a German chainsaw ..
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
Blessed are the cracked - for it is they who let in the light

I hope you mean that the consumers are the stupid ones, not the people who write that stuff because they do so because they are afraid of lawsuits based on the fact that there are people who caused that notice to be written in the first place, just like every cup of coffee you buy reminds you it is HOT because of the McDonalds case.

awesome post!
but sometimes we need those things on packaging!
Years ago when I was a manager at Mc'Donalds restaurants...........some ******* tried to sue because he spilt his coffee, which burnt him.
now the coffee lid reads, 'careful, hot!'
weird how some think its going to be cold!:-5:-5
