On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use Like Regular Soap." (As opposed to?... - Ed.)
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert, printed on the bottom of the box: "Do Not Turn Upside Down." (D'oh! - Ed.)
On a Korean kitchen knife: "Warning: Keep Out Of Children." (But adults are okay.... - Ed.)
On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: "For Indoor Or Outdoor Use Only." (I'm glad they narrowed that down.... - Ed.)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not To Be Used For The Other Use." (Which is?... - Ed.)
On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning - Contains Nuts." (Umm, so, what did people think were actually in the package? - Ed.)
On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open Packet, Eat Nuts." (But were they Sainsbury's peanuts?... - Ed.)
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do Not Attempt To Stop Chain With Your Hands or Genitals." (No comment. - Ed.)
