Packaged for the stupid

[Fox Mike]

Wife and son left this morning for the house on Cape Cod so I am 'junk fooding' it. Decided to fix a frozen pizza. I, this time, actually read the instructions. I can't believe anyone could or would do it but the instructions say: "Take pizza out of the box and wrapper before cooking." Then to add insult to injury it tells all: "CAUTION: PRODUCT IS HOT". Now since you just removed it from a 400° oven you would think that warning shouldn't be necessary.

It should come with a pull string or button that runs a voice recording for people who can't read. Like on those old dolls and other toys from the 50's.

Shop stool in a 4" thick by 24" square box: requires assembly before use.
Don't hold things like this against the makers, there really are buyers who are just that stupid.

Reading past the heat & time indicates the cook needs help.

Car owners manuals used to tell you how to adjust the valves on your engine.....now they tell you Not to Drink the Battery.....

Stupid is what stupid does.....

I had a coworker who was rather dense. They had brought a cornish hen to heat up for supper. After microwaving it for about 5 minutes they removed it from the oven. After unsuccessfully trying to remove the skin they realized that they had cooked it in the plastic wrapper. It was pretty much shrink wrapped!

If you continue on your junk food journey and keep reading the instructions. You will find some things are cooked in their packaging. Sometimes you pierce it with a fork, or peel a corner. Or leave the cover over part of the dinner, but remove it over the other parts.


Some cardboard boxes have a metal? Liner. It will crisp the pizza in the microwave.

I recently bought a bowl of ramen soup, It came with an inner and outer bowl. The outer bowl had a packet that looked like desiccant. Add water to the inner bowl, along with the flavor packet. Add water to the outer bowl put the lid on and it started boiling and steaming! It cooked itself!

Feeding people who can't cook is big business.

Actually I cook most every day. The wife's stroke has diminished her 'household' abilities so I do what is needed. Figured I would let Red Baron take care of tonight. I might start reading all labels. Might find more humor.

I stopped looking at them when they put the warning on the hairdryer warning people not to use it in the shower

And then there's this....

See what happens when the instructions don't mention not to cook on a plastic cutting board. I bet the lawyers never thought of that.

 

[KIR]

If all those stupid instructions were not on the packages and something happened to the consumer, there were would even more frivolous lawsuits.

 

[Bigbore5]

There was actually a woman who filed a lawsuit because she became pregnant while using contraceptive jelly. She had put it on her toast and ate it.

Some people really shouldn't breed.

After watching people during covid and how they wore their mask explained why birth control doesn't work for most people.

Whoever writes those instructions needs to be writing training manuals for the Secret Service...
