Laughable Labelling

From my newly received book, Eats, Shites & Leaves, I thought I'd share some of the humorous and oh so sad but true content.

Strange though it may be, these highly unnecessary and somewhat pointless warnings and instructions have appeared on genuine products.

  • Do not iron clothes on body.
  • For indoor and outdoor use only.
  • Serving suggestion: defrost.
  • Why not try tossing over your favourite breakfast cereal (on a packet of raisins)?
  • Objects in the mirror are actually behind you (on a cyclist's helmet mounted mirror).
  • Sliced ham with vegetarian cheddar.
  • Whole chicken medium fresh.
  • Peel tomatoes easily by standing in boiling water.
  • Keep out of children (on a Korean kitchen knife).
  • 100% pure all-natural fresh-squeezed juice from concentrate.

My former (yes, former, thank God) mother-in-law once offered to iron the clothes I was wearing. But it never occurred to me that she might want to do it with me in them.

This was before she cleaned my toothbrush.
