| Papou Cookies (Star Wars contest) | |
| In all my years covering Star Wars collectibles, I've seen some controversial stuff, but I've never felt compelled to censor an image. Until now. This product is so bad that we don't want it shared publicly in its original form. It's a cookie wrapper from France from the late 1970s from Brun's brand of Papou cookies that sadly used a racist caricature that remarkably they found acceptable for the French market at the time. Moving on from that, the wrapper shows a radio-controlled R2-D2 as a contest prize. Brun's contest on Papou and Palmito cookies offered the chance to win one of these R2-D2 toys or Star Wars posters. Brun continued to do food promotions on their Palmito brand for The Empires Strikes Back in France in 1980. |
