Greetings from Poland :)

Kolory tych produktów oraz ich wzornictwo przywodzą mi na myśl czasy Edwarda Gierka, czyli Polskę lat 70-tych.

Te ręczniki, flakoniki,

Rowerki, duperelki,

Mydełka, mazidełka,

Mebelki z paździerza,

Bluzeczki bez kołnierza.

Wszystko to w tandetnych kolorach, a oprawa muzyczna rodem z Telewizyjnego Koncertu Życzeń :)

P.S. W dziale "sport", są rakiety do tenisa ziemnego ale nie widzę rakietek (lub jak niektórzy mówią "paletek") do ping ponga ...?

@JRBendixen I was thinking the same thing. It's just a display piece for outsiders. Only the most privileged would get to sample these goods.

@wishfulanthony Nobody likes N. Korea, that's why.
