My wife is sick, I went to the pharmacy to buy her some medical supplies and I saw this product:

You can even buy it online here.

I have added the backside of the product - if anyone from linux wants the contact information...
I can translate if needed.

Nir asked me about the copyrights to the image, so here is the information.

The logos here are © Copyright 1997 Andreas Dilger, however they are free for commercial and non-commercial use - this means you can use them to make T-shirts, mugs, stickers, etc with them. The Tux image is © Copyright 1997 Larry Ewing. I don't require that my name appear in conjunction with this logo. However, it should not be mis-represented as the work of someone else (ie don't say that YOU created the logo). Note that I also have larger versions of Tux and some of these logos available, please contact me directly. If you are feeling generous, it would be nice to have one of whatever it is you are making...

That's just plain weird. You should ask the manufacturer why they chose the Linux penguin for their logo.

They must have seen this article and didn't read past the title...

When I saw your first post, I thought: wow, has Assafs account been hi-jacked?
On-line pharmacy?
But this is weird. What has a Penguin to do with fever?

I guess the idea is that penguins know how to deal with the cold. Even the common cold.

Here's a cleaning spray my sister found in a cheap store (can't remember which one) recently:

Their mascot looks slightly familiar.

Notice that the hand on the right side of the package image is different then the linux version.
