1. On Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping." (Gee, 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." (Evidently, 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 suggestions: Defrost."
(But it's *just* a suggestion)

5. On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of box): "Do not turn upside down." (Oops, too late!)

6. On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after
heating." (As night follows the day . . . .)

7. On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."
(But wouldn't this save even more time?)

8. On Boot's Children's 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." (One would hope)

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."
(I gotta admit, I'm curious.)

12. On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: Contains nuts." (NEWSFLASH!!!)

"The problem with the world is that everyone is a few drinks behind."

"You're not drunk if you can lie on the floor without holding on."

@Froggy: I've read this very list about 5 zillion times in the past 8 years since I'm around in the "online" world... - but I ventured to post my quotes anyway because the thread is named "funny stuff" and I deemed them funny. Sorry if this offends your feelings, but I didn't realize that this was a "no spam" thread, exclusively reserved for consumer warnings on products. So please don't :rolleyes: me. ;)

Thank's for your patience . :D

no worries,

Beldin :cool:

BTW @your sig, Froggy - have you ever had a "Cool water Sandwich" or a "Sunday-go-to-meeting Bun" ? ;) :D

No worries,

LOL...

"Sunday-go-to-meeting Bun"

Ahhh...I always wondered what that was... :cool: :D

and no, I haven't, but me and select friends really have (almost) eaten ricochet biscuits (when *ahem* under the influence, of course). We stood there with our mouths open and had somebody throw out-of-date Jammy Dodgers into the wall at an angle. The best we managed was a bleeding nose and some jam on the chin :) .
