It’s Friday and time for I Heart the Mart’s Freaky Friday Giveaway! If this is your first one, where have you been? Each week I look for a silly or ridiculous product that makes me laugh and give it away here to you!
I spotted this Lotion Applicator last week and thought to myself “Really” I can promise you that Tiffany would never need one of these. That’s what I’m here for! I love the directions on products now, it’s not quite as dumb as the “lift here” on Soda Cans or “Caution Coffee is Hot” at Mc Donalds but it is still pretty dumb. And, since you guys don’t have me to rub lotion on you maybe you could settle for this guy, or I guess your husband is always a good option!!
Freaky Friday Prize:
1 Lotion Applicator
1 Bottle Sun Tan Lotion
1 Bottle After Sun Aloe
Leave your comments here, you have until Midnight Pacific Time to Enter! Tell me the dumbest disclaimer you’ve seen!
Frozen pizza says…. don’t eat frozen, cook before eating lol
On a hair dryer. Don’t use in water
Red Barron Pizza- Warning while cooking be sure to cook crust down.
everytime I read that I think no id rather spend the night cleaning the cheese out of the stove.
Ha ha…that’s funny. I think a lot of the directions I see though are like “really they needed to tell people that”. I won a bottle of Stress Relief mouth spray this last week from a Dr. Oz campaign a while back. It came in the mail and I was reading the bottle to try and figure out what it was cause I had never heard of it. It listed the active ingredients (I didn’t understand any of them lol), and then under it said inactive ingredients: 27% alcohol. lol. I had to laugh. Not really a disclaimer but still thought it was hilarious.
My hair straighter says “may burn your eye” Why would someone straighter their eyes…lol
It was on a billboard, it stated that its illegal to text and drive if you see someone doing it while you are driving call the police or they gave a number to call.
The dumbest one i have seen is the warning on curling irons that they are a burn hazard!
The funniest thing i have seen is not intended for for digestion like im going to eat the fresh packets they keep on the bottom of new purses and such
iron: May be hot during use
Hilarious!
Caution blade is very sharp. also the warning on the hair dryers stating not to use them while in the bathtub.
THe dumbest disclaimer I have ever seen was on a toy car there was a sticker that said “pull back and let go” I thought that was so funny!
My all time favorite is on hair driers and curling irons- ” Do NOT use while bathing”. I’m like really??? I can’t dry and style my hair while washing it??
Somebody told me that the Planter’s peanuts package has a disclaimer on it that it “may contain peanuts.” I don’t have a jar to verify, but how funny would that be?! MAY contain peanuts?! I hope so! 🙂
Or the instyler “do not use on eyelashes”.
My favorite would have to be on some chainsaws it says “keep hands and genitalia away from blade” Like really why would you have a chainsaw near your crotch to begin with, lol!
I came across the Coppertone Sport Sunscreen. Well while reading the back for instructions, it states that it is waterproof, yet it also states to reapply after getting out of water i.e. swimming pools, lakes, etc. Just thought that was odd..
The dumbest disclaimer I ever saw was on the “Caution” sticker of a car DVD player case/holder. You know, one of those things that slips over the head rest of the seat in front of you to hold a portible DVD player so that a kid can watch movies on long car trips. It said “Do not use this DVD Player Case as a swing, car seat, or for any other purpose than to hold a DVD player and accessories.” Like we were really planning on getting rid of the baby’s car seat so that the DVD player case could serve 2 purposes….
Clorox and Lysol wipes habe a warning that they are not for use on the body. Why in the world would someone think you could bathe with those?!? Or would want to for that matter!!!
On a crib bumper.. it said “do not leave child unattended with product”.. not sure if it was phrased wrong or I’m suppose to sleep in the crib with him lol
I-Pod Shuffle (the small ones) Do Not Eat I-Pod Shuffle..
REALLY?? LOL
Oh and batteries. Please do not test on tounge.
On a box of pop-tarts: Take packaging off before placing in the toaster
In the big motorized RVs if you read the manual it tells you you must sit in the drivers seat while the RV is in motion and not leave it unattended. The sad thing is that
They prob had to put it in there because someone somewhere has prob done it before like the “caution hot” McDonalds coffee cups.
The one that worries me is on ALL our toothpaste boxes. Warning: If accidently swallowed while brushing, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away! I wonder if it’s safe to use?!
My all time fav is the hair dryer warnings! LOL Like I will blow dry my hair while in the shower. This giveaway is cracking me up! Good pick!
A warning on a stroller to remove the child before folding.
Best disclaimer I ever read was on my car insurance policy. “Insurer not responsible for STD’s received while in vehicle.”
Really? I can’t make my car insurance pay for the penicillin that I need to get rid of whatever it was I caught when I was parking? Who tried that? Because you know someone tried it or the clause wouldn’t be there!
The one i still cant get over are the tabacco companies: May cause lung cancer.
there are more like May harm you and others around you, Also sale to underage person prohibited
Gold Bond Lotion-DO NOT APPLY to EYES lol
I have a few but I guess the best one is on strollers they caution against folding them while the child is in it… really??
I bought one of those Instyler huge curling irons last year. There is a warning sticker on it saying “do not attempt to use the Instyler on your eyelashes”. Seriously, some genius must have tried this at one point for them to put this disclaimer.
On all the meds commercials…may cause heart attack, stroke, headache, lightheadedness…etc… are the side effects worse than the original symptoms.
Not really a disclaimer. My friend just told me that these were really great! She went into detail about how her husband hates to put lotion on her back and that she had found this great item at Wal-Mart. What would she think now?
(On the side of the cup) “This ice may be cold”
Slush Puppy Cup
on BOTTOM of a box of Tesco’s Tiramisu dessert: Do not turn box upside down…….
on bottle of tylenol PM: May cause drowsiness……….
on a package of earplugs: These ear plugs are nontoxic, but may interfere with breathing if caught in windpipe……..
And this is actually a person who misread a label and I PROMISE you this is a TRUE story…….but years ago I worked for a Family Planning clinic where we dispensed birth control. One lady asked to try a diaphragm and spermicide jelly. The lady kept coming back over a period of several weeks complaining of severe burning and itching after using the jelly and major “stickiness” and discomfort. While the doctor was going into further detail with her, the patient asked if the doctor thought a different brand of jelly might help………….are you ready for this? The patient had been using REAL jelly, edible jelly/jam on her diaphragm instead of the spermicidal jelly. She thought maybe if she switched to smuckers or some known label instead of the store brand, that there might be a difference. Promise, true story.
On a Mr Goodbar- Open here. 🙂
when an anti depressive drug comes with a disclaimer stating warning : may induce feelings of depression, Feeling of Suicide or Excessive drowsiness etc .. Wow exactly what the drug is supposed to help with could worsen this GREAT !!
My husband’s drill says “not for dental use” on the box. Huh… I never would have figured that out for myself lol.
On the preparation H tubes it states “Not for oral consumption”!! What The Heck?
Seen on a tube of hemorrhoid medicine, “Do not injest” Yuck. Lol
Mildew Spray–“Use in a well ventilated area”
If the area was well ventilated there wouldn’t be any mildew!!
My husband’s Axe deodorant warns “for external use only”. I’m not sure how this could be used internally???
