Absurd Instructions
Here at Zazz we regularly get products sent over to us with dodgy and quite unbelievable instructions on them... They can be so funny and so bizarre that every now and again you would almost think it worthwhile to buy the product just for them alone.
When further researching this subject here are a bunch of actual label instructions apparently found on various consumer products:
1. On a blanket from Taiwan: NOT TO BE USED AS PROTECTION FROM A TORNADO.
2. In some countries, on the bottom of Coke bottles: OPEN OTHER END.
3. On a packet of Sunmaid raisins: WHY NOT TRY TOSSING OVER YOUR FAVOURITE BREAKFAST CEREAL?
4. On a Sears hairdryer: DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING.
5. On a bag of Fritos: YOU COULD BE A WINNER! NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. DETAILS INSIDE.(The shoplifter special!)
6. On a Korean kitchen knife: WARNING: KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN.
7. On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
8. On a Japanese food processor: NOT TO BE USED FOR THE OTHER USE. (Now I’m curious.)
9. On Sainsbury’s peanuts: WARNING – CONTAINS NUTS.
10. On a Swedish chainsaw:DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP CHAIN WITH YOUR HANDS OR GENITALS.
11. On a child’s superman costume: WEARING OF THIS GARMENT DOES NOT ENABLE YOU TO FLY.
12. On packaging for a Rowenta iron: DO NOT IRON CLOTHES ON BODY.
Feel free to add any more funny ones that you find. A prize will also be awarded for the most absurd instructions found within an actual Zazz purchase!
