2001feb26. Ga-jol mints/licorice/etc. Denmark.

What has happened to America? Where have all the straightforward well-designed packages gone? Why are the cold, cold countries constantly kicking our ass?

These are small packages that contain licorice-type candies. Small pills. The third package is apparently a still from Ga-jol's appearance in the 1932 Republic film feature Ga-jol Nights. The candies in this package are gray as well. Candies for depressed people.

These boxes also have a unique anti-tampering device. You peel off the top lid revealing the standard top recloseable box flap. It was sort of unnerving the first time, like someone was watching me behind a two-way mirror to gauge my reaction. "What the ... another top???"

Some of the packages feature quotes on the inside flap. I've pushed them through InterTran in the mistaken notion that this will help.
