Stupid Product Label Instructions/Warnings

This may be a repeat but it's still funny the 2nd time .......

In case you need further proof that the human race has it's share of stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (Darn, and 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. (What's this? The shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."

On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (Hmmm, wonder what their market research turned up that prompted this little warning.)

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 an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

It's the fact that they have to put those there to ward off liability that amuses me. Our nations is chock full of dumbasses.

If someone needs this, they shouldn't even be allowed around solid foods. :shocking:

This truly shows the serious problem we have here today with ignorant people. It would be funny if it weren't soo serious. I'm not making fun, I'm seriously worried about us here.

I got my electric bill today and in it was some safety tips for when the power goes out. Here's one (I kid you not!):
"Keep your gas grille available year-round for cooking during an outage. (Always use a gas or charcoal grill outside). :faint:

They know there are stupid people that have to be reminded of this.
