Floating Candles

Seriously? I received these candles as a gift, but the best part was reading the back of the box. What FIRST caught my attention was a sticker that was covering the word that now reads "wich" (the sticker said "wick")...so it got me curious and I read the REST of the package. Oh geez. This is what happens when products are NOT made in the good ole US of A.

1. Burn w/ sight?
2. Keep away from THING that catch fire.
3. Keep away from CHILDEN.
4.Trim WICH to....(**Why they would choose to change ONLY this word when there are several other errors is beyond me...)
5. Do not allow wick trimmings to ACCUMLATE.
6. Place on...an APPROPRITE holder.
7. Do not burn more than 2 hours one time?!
8. Never leave BURNNING candle...

The only sentence that makes sense and has no misspellings is "Use in water." (which really isn't a sentence....) I can just HEAR a Vietnamese person (where the candle was made) saying this in broken English and it makes me laugh.
