Couldn't help being Grin by this one today (read the small print on the tag). Of course I know how it happened, but it's still ridiculous.

What's your stupidest label/warning/supermarket brand?

Might be an urban myth, but knives that said "keep out of children"Grin

I saw one in town a couple of weeks ago that made me laugh

"Managers Special

I bought an air freshener for the car once. The car in the packaging was a convertible......

Foslady · 30/08/2019 16:38

And still is!

@Foslady think the convertibles meant to represent the breeze hence the blossom represented on the other side Grin

Foslady · 30/08/2019 16:45

@Betsy86, really?! Oh well the concept failed on me - I only bought it because it was price reduced! Grin

Bag of peanuts. 'Allergy advice: May contain peanuts'

@Visioncroquet surely that's false advertising??

Betsy86 · 30/08/2019 20:23

On some children's medicine we once got it advised not to drive or operate heavy machinery just in case it made you drowsy

AngelOfDeathNix · 30/08/2019 20:39

I'm a paediatric nurse, always makes me laugh when I see medicine for children which states "do not drive or operate heavy machinery"

I once bought a pair of children's pyjamas and the tag said you had to remove the hanger before use Hmm

PotatoesPastaAndBread · 30/08/2019 20:47

I once saw a sign at a motorway service station WH Smith that said.

"Alcohol purchased here may not be consumed inside or outside of this store"

I remain unclear where you could drink said alcohol.

BelgianWhistles · 30/08/2019 21:20

I had one on M&S pyjamas that said: “In the interests of safety, it is advisable to keep your child away from open flames”. I kept it for ages because it made me laugh so much.

BelgianWhistles · 30/08/2019 21:23

The maps for Thorpe Park used to state that guide dogs are not allowed on the rides. The thought of a dog whizzing around on a rollercoaster!!

Our collapsible pushchair helpfully reminded us to remove the child before folding. DH had an electric blanket once - The instructions stated to unplug it before washing!

LemonRedwood · 30/08/2019 22:51

Sparklingbrook The innocent cartons always manage to make me giggle more than packaging should in general

FFSOMG · 30/08/2019 22:58

@BelgianWhistles that made me laugh out loud!

blahblahblahblahhh · 30/08/2019 22:59

All packs of nuts say on them "may contain traces of nuts" Confused

Gingernaut · 30/08/2019 23:06

I remember a spate of Innocent smoothie cartons that gave Semaphore instructions...Hmm
