Actual label instructions on consumer goods; 

(A list found on the internet)

1. On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.

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

2. On a bag of Fritos: 

You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. 

Details inside. 

(the shoplifter special?)

3. On a bar of Dial soap:

"Directions: Use like regular soap."

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

4. On some Swanson frozen dinners:

"Serving suggestion: Defrost."

(but, it's "just" a suggestion.)

5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom):

Don 't turn upside down."

(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:

"Product will be hot after heating."

(...and you thought????...)

7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:

"Do not iron clothes on body."

(but wouldn't this save me more time?)

8. 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.)

9. On Nytol Sleep Aid: 

"Warning: May cause drowsiness." 

(and... I'm taking this because???...)

10. On most brands of Christmas lights:

"For indoor or outdoor use only."

(as opposed to... what?)

11. 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.)

12. On Sainsbury's peanuts:

"Warning: contains nuts."

(talk about a news flash)

13. On an American Airlines packet of nuts:

"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."

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

14. 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.)
