No pressure valve or pop=off?
Human Race is doomed through stupidity!
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 Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (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???....)
On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's
just a suggestion.)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside
down." (well.duh, a bit late, huh!)
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but
wouldn't this save me 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 bulldozers.)
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 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: 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?)
