Think About These

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

On a Myer hairdryer:

“Do not use while sleeping”.

(Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Chips:

You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.

(The shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Palmolive soap:

“Directions: Use like regular soap”.

(And that would be how???)

On some frozen dinners:

"Serving suggestion: Defrost”.

(But, it's just a suggestion).

On Nanna'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 K-Mart 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”.

(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 Nobby's peanuts:

"Warning: contains nuts”.

(Talk about a news flash!)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:

"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts”.

(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

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”.

On a Swedish chainsaw:

"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals”.

(Was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)...in other words send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while

Now there is a company that has been sued before and didn't enjoy the experience.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
