[devonshiredumpling]

On the bottom of a Tesco tiramisu: Do not turn upside down. Well, too late for that then.

Advice on Morrison's nappy bags - "place nappy inside bag"... Really? Not the bag inside the nappy?

Slightly off subject but when asking whether my 5 month old could use the swimming pool in a hotel gym, the response I received was "Yes, but only with adult supervision." And there was me planning to send him by himself!

'warning: hot' on takeaway coffee. Yes I bloody well hope so or I'll be wanting my money back.

I bought kids medicine (am sure it was calpol or similar) and it said 'do not drive heavy machinery after taking this medicine'

Hmmm

Think it was piriton actually

I saw a fake Christmas tree in Sainsbury's with a label 'Ideal for Christmas'. Now I never would have thought of that!

On babygrows: 'do not put close to open flame'

I 'serving suggestion' especially when it's on a tub of ice cream showing ice cream in a bowl

Bogeyface

Small rubber ducks for dd's bath. Packet said not to be used as a flotation device.

You gotta love the " keep this pack upright" in the underside of the box :)

On the back of haribo or some similar crap: 'may cause a negative effect in children's behaviour.' No shit!

Bag of lettuce 'suitable for vegetarians'

On a t-shirt: "wash when dirty". No shit Sherlock! :)

Apparently some motor homes have a note that you must remain at the wheel and in control of the vehicle at all times when driving after some idiots drivers thought that "cruise control" was the same as autopilot.

I bought my dad a mug with socks in it for father's day based on the label......
remove socks before use!
didn't specify if they ment the ones in the mug or the ones he was wearing.....

There is a sticker my dads gas bbq "do not leave children or old people unattended by the bbq".also heard, i think on the radio, on a chainsaw "do not attempt to stop this machinery with your hands". This makes me think that at some point that is exactly what someone has done.

not a warning but I bought some eggcups from Wilko recently that had this to say:

"wash me first before you use me, please. Give me a good wash in warm, soapy water and then make sure I'm lovely and dry"

patronising, much?

Every toy I've ever brought comes with packaging that says "please keep for future reference".

Sometimes that is all it says?
Reference for what exactly??? Only very rarely will there be any instructions.
In homes across the world are people a adding on rooms to their houses in which to store these labels

It makes no sense whatsoever

I bought a make your own wine kit. Apparently I need to be warned that it may produce an alcoholic drink... i bloody hope so!!

My favourite is McDonalds or Burger king burgers advertises not actual size no fucking way haha.

Obviously i mean the pictures in the window of the burgers and wotnot.

I bought a dress which was white on top and dark navy bottom. Came with instructions to wash dark colours separate.
