Lord Noel On Selling To The Masses

Whatto! Everyone!!



In my search for truthful advertising I have been pleasantly surprised by my findings.......

Either manufacturers are having a great laugh on us...........

or people REALLY ARE .............not very bright!!

The writing shows actual label instructions on consumer goods - The pictures are just flights of fancy or 'what COULD be achieved if advertisers told the truth':

In a microwave oven manual: Do not use for drying pets.

On the back of a pilot's seat in a Nato aircraft: Seat must be facing forward for take-off and landing.


On the bottom of a cola bottle: Do not open here.


On a Harry Potter wizards broom: This broom does not actually fly.


On a box of aspirin: Do not take if allergic to aspirin.


On a bottle of laundry detergent: Remove clothing before distributing in washing machine.


On a muffin packet: Remove wrapper, open mouth, insert muffin, eat.


In a kettle instruction manual: The appliance is switched on by setting the 'ON/OFF' button to the 'ON' position.

On a ketchup bottle:Instructions: Put on food.


On a bottle of rum: Open bottle before drinking.


A car park sign: Entrance only. Do not enter.


A sign in a street in Hong Kong: Beware of people. (Sound advice!)


Rules on a tram in Prague: Beware! To touch these wires is instant death. Anyone found doing so will be persecuted.


Sign on newly-renovated ramp entrance, USA: Take care: new non-slip surface.

On a can of air freshener: For use by trained personnel only.


On a bottle of baby lotion: Keep away from children. 


On a pair of socks bought in egypt: Do not wash. 

Tallyho!
Best wishes - Lord Noel
