Every once in awhile I see instructions or warning labels that seem out of place. Well, today I noticed a very strange one. As I was about to open a KitKat bar to enjoy its delicious milk chocolate wafers, I noticed some words on the flap of the wrapper that read...
TO OPEN:
Lift Flap and Tear at End

I couldn't help to laugh at it for several minutes, knowing that somewhere a person either needs this instructions, and that several people in marketing believed that people needed it this much.

So, what are some of the bizarre instructions and warning labels that you have come across in your daily life?

p.s. Last similar thread was from August of last year.

And Bug Spray cans usually say "do not drink" or some variation thereof. Yeah, because whenever I see a can of Bug Spray, I feel really thirsty.

I read that and thought I would ignore it and open it differently:D

I can't think of any useless things at the moment.

There's a sign made specifically for pointing out the edges in the same sign? My mind is completely and utterly blown.

Those of us who are ex-military can appreciate "This page was left blank intentionally."

Hairdryers that tell you "Do not operate while sleeping."
Dude, that's no joke. I did it once, and, well, check out my avatar. Just...just don't do it.

You know, I would like a sign like that. I would stick it somewhere completely random for no reason at all other then shear laughs.
Surely putting that sign ANYWHERE would be completely random and without reason?

And i always liked the bit in the original xbox manual that states "A falling xbox may cause injury"
