Yes, its true, mankind is actually stupid enough to put stupid directions on certain items. So, we've all seen them, let's name a few. Here's a couple I've seen: On package of peanuts: Caution, Contains nuts. On a different package of peanuts: Directions: Open, eat. On some korean steak knives: Keep out of children. On a swedish chain saw: Do not try to stop chain with your hands or genitals. With all due respect, ~~~Mr. Cain and Mr. Abel |

On Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (Gee, 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 how?) On some Swann frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But it's 'just' a suggestion!) On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box) Do not turn upside down. (Too late! you lose!) On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Product will be hot after heating. (Are you sure? Let's experiment.) On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body. (But wouldn't that save more time?)(Whose body?) On Boot's Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate machinery. (We could do a lot to reduce the construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.) On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: may cause drowsiness. (One would hope!) On a string of Christmas lights: For indoor or outdoor use only. (As opposed to use in outer space.) On a food processor: Not to be used for the other use. (Now I'm curious.) On Sainsbury's peanuts: Warning: contains nuts. (but no peas?) On an American Airlines packet of nuts: Instructions: open packet, eat nuts. (somebody got paid big bucks to write this one...) On a child's Superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly. (Oh go ahead! That's right, destroy a universal childhood belief.) courtesy of funny junk.com |

and yet on pirate costumes it doesn't say "does not enable you to steal gold" and on spiderman costumes it doesn't say "Does not enable you to swing from buildings" so I guess the superman costume manufacturers were just paranoid. With all due respect, ~~~Mr. Cain and Mr. Abel |

On a childrens cough bottle: "Warning: may cause drowsiness. Do not operate heavy machinery after consumption" Yeah, my five year old cousin drives a forklift to work at a chemical plant.

If children's cough medicine is for 5 yr olds and younger, then they wouldn't be driving go carts. |

some people take children's cough syrup and may actually believe that it will cause less drowsiness. |

On a Band-Aid box: "For serious injuries, seek medical attention." A stroller on the market was well equipped with the warning, "Remove child before folding." Companies really have to go all out these days. |
