Dumb package warnings.

[Bridget]

First, let me admit that I am making fish sticks for lunch. Well, frozen fish thingies... not exactly sticks. :lol:

The box instructs you to "remove fish from plastic envelope prior to cooking". :wtf:

I know some guys published a book on these types of things not too long ago (and said every one that is printed appears because someone did it). Any that stick out in your memory?

[Melissa]

Do not dry hair in your microwave. :wtf: is right

[Lynn]

I've always found the *Do not put blowdryer in water* one hilarious. Who is seriously dumb enough to do that?

[mama]

Microwaves: Do not dry your pet in the microwave.

It is true, it is written on the instructions of the new microwaves (guess someone fried sparky)

[Nichole]

On to go coffee cups: "Caution: contents may be VERY hot." No shit, Sherlock. :lol: I'd be pissed if they gave me cold coffee. :lol:

We got a kick out of the warning on my sister's hairdryer that said not to use it while sleeping.

Do you know the little bags of air that they use for packing? I noticed that it warned not to use it as a flotation device. I can just see the parent trying to strap those things onto their kids like water wings.

They even have that one STRAWS now. Who drinks hot stuff with a straw!!!

[magoo]

Yes... actually I was thinking of putting some of those little bags of air next time we go on a boat. "Man overboard! Throw him a teeny bag of air!!"

[Brandi]

OH MY! These are hilarious! I can't remember anything so funny on food bags, but I always get a laugh at this sign. As we are driving to my in-law's, there is this sign on an exit ramp. OK, exit ramps are pretty darn short and there's nowhere else to go, right?! So, the sign says "All cars must exist". And it's not at the beginning of the ramp, it's in the middle. So, you are on the ramp and there's nowhere else to go. I just laugh every time. My husband thinks I'm crazy!

[Silke]

:lol: Sometimes I wonder if somebody has actually tried that...hence the warning on the package :lol:

In one of my design classes while in school, my instructor stated that pretty much every dumb warning on products is due to somebody actually doing the stated warning and the company getting sued. So yes people are that dumb.

I found one today that slayed me!

I went to give Jacob some INFANT DEMAZIN formulated for children ages 1-6yrs.

Under caution it says:

This preperation may cause drowsiness. If affected, do not drive or operate machinery. Avoid alcohol. If you are prpesently taking medication for high blood pressure, coronary artery disease or depression, consult your doctor before using this product.

HMM ok, I will have to call into the docks to tell them my 1 year old can't come in and operate the heavy machinery today, and he won't be able to join them for the piss up later tonight ether :freak3:

Umm, me :shuffle: Our drive through coffee puts a straw in it and at first I thought it was wierd but it does make it easier to drink while driving.
