I was about to give my daughter some cough medicine last night and as I was reading the dosage, I also read the "product warning"...."May cause drowsiness, don't drive a motor vehicle or operate heavy machinery".  I just had to laugh because this was CHILDREN'S cough medicine.

I then got to thinking about some other silly warnings or instructions...

I bought a curling iron, the warning tag said "May cause eye burns", I have never burned my eye, but they should have warned me about neck and ear burns.  >:(

Shampoo:For External Use Only...Heck, I was going to take a big swig and clean my hair from the inside out, thanks for the warning.  ;)

Directions for use on a bottle of shampoo: Lather, rinse, repeat.  I guess if you were raised by wolves and just reintroduced into society these instrutions will come in handy.  :P

What are some silly/interesting things you've read on different products, I'd love to hear some! 

And finally a warning from me, if you happen to give your 3 year old cough medicine, make sure you don't let them drive to work at the factory, we don't want them operating that forklift and hurting themselves or someone else!  ::)

Whenever I drink a bottle of Dr Pepper, I have to laugh when I see what is written on the label:  "Point away from face, especially while opening."  Uh, point away from face?  How do I drink the pop then? ???

And, on a bag of peanuts (I forget what brand):  "Warning, may contain nuts" ::)

How about Christmas lights-for indoor/outdoor use ONLY. My question is, what other choice is there?

I think they're saying before you open the can not after.If it happens you'll get a load of soda in your face. ;D

***This is a bit crude***  There are sanitary napkins that advise you to put the tape side down on your underwear.  Thanks for that tip.  :D

We just purchased a new dingy for our boat. It is your basic 10 ft row boat. It came complete with a (something like) 50 page owner's manual. The thing is, it is not JUST for the row boat-I guess it has instructions on an engine too (which we didn't get). Didn't actually read it so I don't know what it says.

Well, I mean I get it, but what kinda masochistic whakadoo would put it tape side up?  ;)

This was the warning sticker on a keychain Mace canister I got back in the 90's


"May irritate eyes"


REALLY?? I would have NEVER guessed that!  :o

Ha Ha!!  These are all so funny!!

I remembered another one...on a can of powdered baby formula it says "Must add water".  I wonder if someone actually tried to feed a baby the power??? ???

i had to do a health project on safe sex this year...the one website had the BEST instructions ever, like "go to a store and purchase a condom."  there were several others that were just as obvious, my favourite being "have sex."

no comment. ::) ;D
