This is an old sweetie wrapper (actually, I suspect it's a picture of a sticker advertising said sweetie) from Finland, circa 1980.
The name of the product is "Lion Pastilles".
The speech bubble says: "How would you like it if I came in your mouth?"
Yes. Really.
I would love to know whether someone got away with a whopper, or whether our minds have just grown progressively smuttier with each passing decade.
In any case, I just had to share.
We can now return to our scheduled programme...
Thanks to Populaari for letting me pinch this (a delightful blog full of stuff like this - although, inconveniently for most of you, written in Finnish).
Damn, you see the length of that tail -- that ain't comin anywhere near my mouth. So to speak.
Oh and heya Pia, long time! Good to see ya again and showin you the BotB love.

That is too funny. Isn't it amazing when you see things like that??? This is a very unique blog. Great work!

Well, most probably, "our minds have just grown progressively smuttier with each passing decade."

I laughed. But then again my mind is smutty. And, it seems, getting worse.
One of my friends' parents recently asked us if we'd had a 'gay time' and wondered why we cracked up...

Schad: Very nice to be back in the gang again, and hey, thanks for the luuurve (it is always nice to bump into you over there too ;) ).
Tasha: Thank you - and nice to "meet" you!
Natalie: I think you're right...
Mr X: Never MIND the fact that "gay" is now used in a new-new context of "lame". I don't even know what the political correctness brigade thinks of that one.
