The States might have sophisticated and slick Mad Men to design packaging for common household products, some so beautiful and iconic that people collect them for their timeless value and meaning, such as coke bottles, beer cans, and twinkie wrappers. Quebec goes one better, and has actual Madmen designing the packaging. These are all best-selling drugstore products that were filched for album covers by a US record label, and no-one the wiser. How? no idea, but that’s what happened. Clockwise from top left:
a) Cat Pooper Worming Tablets for Humans (strawberry pasta flavoured chewable) b) Giant Loincloth Man varicose Vein Compression Stockings (knee high 2 pack) c) Clog Head Ear Drops to soften wax d) Free of Dangling Planet Shimmy hemerrhoid cream d) Picasso Homme Portable Mirror with built in lip gloss pots e) Fist Pump Jam Condoms, rough rat pack rider, 28 pack.
It all sounds way cooler and actually funny in French-Canadian, really.
