Bizarre household product labels...

lordsippa

just saw the best warning on a product EVER!
"Do not place in close proximity to your pet"

I'm not going to name what it is but suffice to say that I found that particular warning QUITE odd.

Anyone else got any other kinda bs <this isnt' actually bout what the title suggests... i'm just bored and tired and'll probably delete this tomorrow morning>

Happy CTYI guy

I know that this isn't a label but i saw a sign saying"Deliveries in Rear" Oh how i laughed.
I saw another one saying" Trespassers will be shot, beaten, stabbed and savaged by dogs. Survivors will be prosecuted".

ll=llannah

How bout the ones which have "Do not turn upside down" printed on the bottom of the product?
those never cease to amuse me.

Well there's a sign in some car park saying:
"Warning. Do not hit this sign."


Also this one isn't neccessarily real but still funny. In GTA: Vice City there's a sign saying:
"Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."

D-Generate

In some shop in Temple-Bar there is a sign saying "All unaccompanied children will be rounded up and sold as slaves"

Being from Cork I don't know the name of the shop

Laura

the best one has to be on a superman costume.

"this suit does not enable the wearer to fly":D

lordsippa

I saw one a bit like this. It said "Goods vehicles to rear", but someone had scraped off the S..heh.
Also on peanuts: WARNING! THIS PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN NUTS!
On coffee machine: "WARNING! COFFEE IS HOT!!"
"To touch these wires is fatal! Anyone found doing so shall be prosectued!"
"Tresspassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again"

I see they started putting jokes on the backs of McDonalds chip cartons. "100% potato"

It wasn't me!

Or on their burgers, 100% Irish beef. HAHAHA. Or is that Burger KIng?

nosmo

Burger king, until recently, had "King Pommes" on their chip packets.
Seeing as Pommes is french for apples, this is the same as having "Roi apples" on packets in France..

Lets have a big cheer for gross corporate incompetence

Moni

On my street theres a sign saying "Slow children at play."


That always sorta hurt my feelings.

Typedef

Rat poison that reads. "Do not ingest".

I'd be amazed that the sort of people who would in fact 'ingest' (but not inhale), could in fact walk upright should the occasion arise(no pun).
*splort.

There was a "WARNING: THIS WATER IS WET AND SLIPPY" sign next to the toy boats in Mosney for a while.

They had to have it for insurance reasons.... oh how i ROFLed...

<< Fio >> - the bitter CTYI mod

Asuka

Actually, Ive seen a couple of classic warnings since I came to Scotland... Ive been meaning to tak pictures.

Written in marker on a break-glass fire alarm: 'Danger - do not use'
On a sign next to the glass case containing the hammer to break the glass on a bus: 'Warning: Do not break glass with hand'

Saw this one this morning.. not too strange.
WARNING! COFFEE MAY CAUSE INSOMNIA!

Green Hand Guy

Seeing as Pommes is french for apples, this is the same as having "Roi apples" on packets in France..

But Pommes is German for potatoes.

There's a slightly vandalised sign on my road saying- Drive Slowly- Fa-t moving children

There used to be one on my road that had been changed from Cul de Sac to Pull de Sac... nasty

joe the coat

Cul de Sac is kinda wierd anyway... french people apparently haven't a clue what it means...

And i think the shop in temple bar is Se Si... though i could be wrong

And a GOOD sign i once saw was a modified "men at work" sign so it showed a guy with a hurly... it was quite well done...

Thats actually a legimate warning. a peanut is not a nut. its a root. therefore people who are allergic to nuts will be able to eat peanuts (though there is some connection) but cus they're put in packages in the same factory they have to put that on it.

Best one ever has to be

"CHOKING HAZARD: UNDER 3'S" on a frisbee.

Alaronshannara

Er, on that one about the superman costume, my mum taught a pupil once that actually tried to fly with one of those. Teehee. He was ok, he landed on grass. A second storey window. I mean, come on! Surely you would start on a low wall or something? Sheesh.
And to add my little bit, the makers of this wierd kind of prepacked minitoast that I enjoyed during the course are of course called "The Masterbakers". Narf narf narf.

Happy CTYI guy

Did the canteen in CTYI ever actually claim to serve meat?

Laura

Cathal!!!!! i tryed e-mailing you but neither of the two worked.

nosmo

I just saw this one around Trinity College..it just seems a bit weird to me..
PLEASE DO NOT USE FIRE EXTINGUISHERS AS DOORSTOPS!

mm.ie

there is a bottle of toilet cleaner in work and the brand name is "Shifter".

Apart from it being amusing in its own right, there are loads of word play combinations...

going to the toilet hasn't been the same for me since it appeared.

Typedef

My all time favorite is.

"Windows XP.... Yes you can".

I always sleep easy knowing "I can".
*sigh.

It wasn't me!

According to the people who made the frisbee, there's a guy in my year who's a choking hazard. I'm going to go up to Philip Dunne tomorrow, tell him he's illegal and slap a homemade choking hazard warning on his face! Heehee! 'Twill be great fun!

The shop is called the source its like the gadget shop in the jervis
