thanks for clarifying

Last night, I put on some cream to (hopefully) reduce the itch from my mosquito bites. On the back of the tube, it says:

“Directions: Apply to desired area as needed.”

Which seems vague, though I suppose it is a multipurpose cream, and perhaps the company was trying not to be limiting.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, I was checking the new packaging for my morning beverage of choice, and noticed this key warning:

“This product is not intended as a substitute for sleep.”

Good to know! Thank goodness they cleared that up! Along with such classics as “do not open car hood while driving” and “fingerless gloves: not intended to cover fingertips,” I sense a book opportunity: “Hopefully Unnecessary FYIs For The Hopelessly Unprepared.”
