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.

(the shoplifter special)?

     

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

(and that would be how???....)

     

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 more time)?

     

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:       
"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."

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."

(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)

"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."

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

     

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?)
