Sorry comrads, I was too late to post this in Félix’ Guevara thread so it has to fit in here.

Notice the tricky lid!

For those who are not familiar with German:
The warning does not say:”If you don’t buy this box you gonna share Che’s fate and we shoot you like a mangy dog.”

Isn’t it notable how quickly an icon can degenerate into a cheap gimmick...?

Cheerio!

P.S.: The cigarettes taste like Marlboros ... :roll:

Actually, I would have said exactly the opposite. Isn't it interesting how quickly a cheap gimmick can become revered as an icon. ;)

Regardless, my comments were specific to Darth Vader... no recollection of a "Che" or "Fidel" in the movies.

Now, there's an idea (and since Disney has just bought the Star Wars Franchise): Che and Fidel vs. Darth Vader: EVIL VS. EVIL VS EEEVILLL!

..although, I don't think that would fly at Disney...

Wasn't his hyperbolic chamber just one big pipe he could sit in and enjoy?
