We all like to be given instructions on new things that we encounter. However, there are situations when these instructions become patronising and more than ridiculous. There are a number of products in the market that come with some weird directions. Here are some of our favourites:
• The hairdryer is one of the most commonly used household items. Almost everyone knows when and how to use one. For this reason, the
“Do not use while sleeping” instruction which you can find on hairdryers doesn't make any sense.
• Fritos are all the rage among school children. In the past, Fritos have come up with a number of contests and schemes. Though the amount of money that comes out of the pack is small, it is still exciting for the children who win. However, according to the packet, “you can be the winner of the prize without purchasing the product and the details are inside the pack.”
• Most directions on soap packet covers say something such as “Use like regular soap." What if you have never used regular soap?
• One of the funniest suggestions on most frozen dinners is “Defrost."
• Believe it or not, a Rowenta iron packing stated, “do not iron clothes on the body.”
• You are most likely to laugh your head off when reading an interesting warning on a pack of Sainsbury's peanuts. It states, “Warning: Contains nuts."
• You won't believe your eyes when you read “open packet, eat nuts” on an American Airlines pack of nuts.
