Have we lost our common sense?

In my opinion, there are so many phenomena in our everyday life showing that common sense is missing.
Just take a look around and we will be able to see a lack of common sense somewhere around us. I cannot tell it is
because of losing of common sense or people are too busy to spend a bit of time to carefully make decision with the
small things. Whatever reason, there are so many funny warning in our daily life products which underestimate the
common sense of their customers. For example,

Hairdryer: Do not use while taking a shower / Do not use while sleeping.

Pepper Spray : Never aim spray at your own eyes.

Auto-Shade Windshield Visor : Do not drive with sunshade in place. Remove from windshield before starting
ignition.

Iron Warning: Never iron clothes on the body.

American Airlines Peanuts Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.

Hershey's Almond Bar Warning: May contain traces of nuts

Heinz Ketchup Instructions: Put on food

Bar of Dial soap Directions: Use like regular soap.

Microwave Oven: Do not use for drying pets.

Wrapper snack : Remove plastic before eating.

I know that these funny warnings have to be labeled on the products according to Product Liability Law. It
is not a bad idea to remind ourselves of these simple warning that can protected our life in the busy day to day
schedule. However, when I saw a funny label on something, it made me think “Am I dumb?”
