do you know anything about lucky stikes being discontinued? is it the distrubitors or the company? ive heard somthign about katrina wiping out the lucky stike tobacco crops? any truth to that? all i know is that around november all the stores where i live stopped recieving Lucky Strikes. i think some still recive unfiltered. ive also heard that they are more popular is europe and are now only been sold there.
any info is appreciated. lucky strikes are an american origional, the GI’s were smokin them, Sonny Croket (Don Johnson from Miami Vice) smoked them. even this "tiny flowers" avertisement (http://tinyflowers.com/) is blatently copying the lucky strike logo. lucky strike has been imbued into the american psyche whether they know it or not. hit me back dawg!
Yes, I’ve seen that Tiny Flowers thing, I think it’s disgusting the way they’ve appropriated the regal and sublime Lucky Strikes logo. Even though I bet that wasn’t even their intent, nor even conscious of the similarity, though the Lucky Strikes logo is ubiquitous and regal. I also bet that the person who designed it really hates that shade of red because it never looks right on a computer monitor, and hates computer graphics anyway, but keeps trundling on in the misguided hope that he’ll be alive to see worldwide deployment of that “e-ink” technology that scientists make squeaking noises about every three years. Then he’ll probably be okay with it. I bet he’s fully immersed in some cockamamie computer graphics-type project for like, 14 hours a day, these days, when he’s not feeding the one-winged turkey vulture, among many other animals. I’d put even money on that. He raises his wing if you get your hand near him, creating a sort of cowl-effect so you can’t see the awesome dead food he’s totally eating and you’re not. “Dude. I wanted that chicken. I know I just gave it to you ... but I’ve changed my mind. GIVE ME THE CHICKEN”
