Labeling good for a laugh...

The following labels appeared on packaging from around the world—some from the Global Packaging Minute archives. Warning: May create a few minutes of light-heartedness.

  • On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.
  • On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special.)
  • On a bar of Dial soap: Directions: Use like regular soap.
  • On Tesco's tiramisu dessert (printed on the bottom of box): Do not turn upside-down.
  • On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body.
  • On Boot's children's cough medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
  • On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: May cause drowsiness.
  • On a Japanese food processor: Not to be used for the other use. (Which would be????)
  • On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."
  • On an American Airlines packet of peanuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Free peanuts on an airplane—those were the good old days!)
  • On a child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
  • On a Swedish chain saw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
