In case you needed further proof that the Human Race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions from various international consumer products...

On a New Zealand insect spray:THIS PRODUCT NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS.

In an American guide to setting up a new computer: TO AVOID CONDENSATION FORMING, ALLOW THE BOXES TO WARM UP TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE OPENING.
(Sensible, but the instruction was INSIDE thebox.) On a packet of American Sunmaid raisins: WHY NOT TRY TOSSING OVER YOUR FAVOURITE BREAKFAST CEREAL?

On an American Sears hairdryer: DO NOT USE WHILE SLEEPING.

On a bag of American Fritos-brand Corn Chips:YOU COULD BE A WINNER! NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. DETAILS INSIDE.(The shoplifter’s special!)

On Tesco’s Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom of the box): DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN.(Too late! You lose!)

On a Korean kitchen knife: WARNING: KEEP OUT OF CHILDREN. (Dammit! Who are they to tell me what to do with my kids?)

On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.(As opposed to..)

On a Japanese food processor -NOT TO BE USED FOR THE OTHER USE.(Now I’m curious)

On British Sainsbury’s peanuts: WARNING - CONTAINS NUTS.(And that’s bad --- why?)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts INSTRUCTIONS - OPEN PACKET, EAT NUTS. I’m glad they cleared that up.)
On a Swedish chainsaw - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP CHAIN WITH YOUR HANDS OR GENITALS. (What kind of consumer phone-call led to this warning?)

On a Canadian child’s Superman costume - WEARING OF THIS GARMENT DOES NOT ENABLE YOU TO FLY.(That’s right, destroy a universal childhood fantasy!)

On some British frozen dinners: SERVING SUGGESTION: DEFROST.

On a hotel provided shower cap in a box: FITS ONE HEAD.

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: DO NOT IRON CLOTHES ON BODY.

On a British Boot’s “Children’s” Cough Medicine: DO NOT DRIVE CAR OR OPERATE MACHINERY.

On a British Nytol Sleep Aid Tablets label: WARNING: MAY CAUSE DROWSINESS. (Duh!)

On British Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: PRODUCT WILL BE HOT AFTER HEATING. (Are you sure? Let’s experiment ... )
 
LABELING (ONE L)

Did it ever strike you that some of these are actually meant to be funny (open pack eat nuts...surely you can't think this is unintentional)

ps I'm responsible for labeling in my co.
