HILARIOUS -- Have you seen these?
Are you a label reader? If you are, then I am sure you have come across some labels that give your head a shake. There are labeling laws that are in place to protect the consumer. However, when you read some of these actual labels, it makes you wonder if the industry thinks the human race is stupid, or worse.
On the bottom of McCain's Tiramisu dessert: "Do NOT turn upside down." UHhh, a bit late!
On Planter's peanuts: "WARNING: may contain nuts" I was hoping for nutless peanuts!
On a bottle of Children's Cough Medicine: "Do NOT drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." Please alert any toddlers you know that they should not be driving under the influence!
On Christmas Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." I was hoping it would be cold after heating.
On a Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping!" That's the ONLY time I have to do my hair!
On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside." This is tricky -- like rewrapping a Christmas present you opened to peek inside.
On a bar of Dial soap: "Use like regular soap." Here I was - hoping for a whole new soap experience with instructions.
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." Takes away the whole thrill of eating a frozen dinner.
On packaging for a Black & Decker iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." But what if I am in a hurry?
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." Thanks for the heads up!
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only" This one baffles me -- I feel like I am missing a third dimension.
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." Won't touch that one with a ten-foot thingamajig
On an airline packet of nuts: "Open packet, eat nuts" I thought they always taste better if you eat the package with the nuts.
On a child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." That's the only reason I bought it for my son! He asked for flying lessons.
And the Best for Last...
On a chainsaw: (Could this one be discriminatory?) "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." Was this a warning because people ACTUALLY tried this?
Any ridiculous labels you want to share? |

Oh my gawsh these were so funny! I was remembering the spoof of "I found love in a hopeless place" with "I found dove in a soapless place"... whenever I hear that song, I sing along with the soapy-dove version. ha ha ha ha ha. Thank you for the laugh today!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could make you laugh. I laughed when I reread it LOL
ReplyDeleteWe bought one of those sun shields that you put in your windshield of the car. It said not to drive with it in place.
ReplyDeleteWe do get a laugh out of badly translated product descriptions and instructions as well.
Hard to believe. Do you remember the woman who sued the motor home company when she got in an accident. She put it on cruise control and went to the back of the motor home to go to the bathroom and the motor home crashed. She WON.
DeleteThese are hilarious! Love the Swanson frozen dinner one. Thanks for the laugh. :D
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
DeleteI am howling, Carol! Yes, I do read labels, and have found most of them to be utterly ridiculous. The only reason I can think of for these folks stating the obvious is that this society is so litigious. Some people will sue over anything, so I guess it's these companies' way of protecting themselves.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

DeleteThe scariest thing is WHY manufacturers feel they need those labels. Yes, some of those people walk among us - those who actually ironed their clothes while wearing them, those who used Christmas lights in the third dimension, maybe even those who used their food processor for the other use....be very afraid!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid. I'm very afraid. Thank you for the smile Alana
DeleteI have to admit, I once ironed the collar of shirt while I was wearing it and burned myself badly. I was young and dumb. The warning label didn't stop me! These are awesome!
ReplyDeleteLOL I think we have all done that at least once.
DeleteEvery one of these cracked me up!!! And don’t we all need a good laugh right now? 😊
