Product Instructions.....

[pojo]

Copy Bloopers...restating the obvious!

Oh, the instructions we sometimes give our customers! We all make occasional copy mistakes, and here are some actual examples of dumb instructions companies (many of them large and well known) gave their customers about product use. We excluded the company names to protect the guilty, but we suspect reading these errors will send many of us scurrying to do a double check of our own product instructions.

On a hairdryer: “Do not use while sleeping.” (Like, when are you going to dry your hair if you can’t do it while sleeping?)

On a bag of snack chips: “You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.” (Is this the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (And that would be how?)

On a frozen dinner: "Serving suggestion: Defrost.” (But remember it's "just" a suggestion, in case you’ve been really craving a frozen one all day.)

On a packaged Tiramisu dessert – printed on the bottom – “Do not turn upside down.” (Well, duh, just a little late, isn’t it?)

On a packaged bread pudding dessert: "Product will be hot after heating." (And you were expecting…???)

On packaging for an iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (But, gee, wouldn't this be a real time saver?)

On a children’s cough medicine package: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication. (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents by just getting those 5-year-olds with colds off the forklifts.)

On a sleep aid: “Warning: May cause drowsiness." (And I'm taking this because..???)

On a package of peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (Now there’s a news flash.)

On a specific airline’s packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly another airline?)
