You have to laugh. Yesterday when I went shopping I bought some gum. Decided to try some tonight. It's "new" "Trident Splash" (tropical twist flavour). It did actually smell really citrus-y and well, tropical, as soon as I undid the wrapper. Quite an interesting design packaging. The little sticks of gum are all lined up in two little compartments (pics attached - me trying out my phone camera - not bad for very low light and me not holding the phone altogether still - flash on it performs very well).

The bit that really made me laugh though was this on the inside of the pack: "For best results: insert into mouth"

Hah! I don't know whether to laugh or cry..  G.T.'s giggle smiley

It reminds me very much of the copy on Innocent drink cartons/bottles - where they remind you to leave the lid on before shaking/etc. I think Innocent carry it off quite well but there's a fine line between comical and patronising .. I wouldn't be brave enough to risk it if I were selling a product, personally!

It's like the message on the free packet of peanuts they give you on some airlines... "Warning may contain nuts"  its the "may" that puzzles me.
