Rizla - Egregious punctuation for all to see...


... this has to be one of the worst examples put on a product that I have seen in a long time. The error is obvious yet this insert to notify the person who uses their papers that there ARE only ten papers left should have been spotted and should have been fixed long ago. It makes the company look dumb in my opinion. Did nobody at the company check this at all? Clearly not...

What is worse is that many people will see this and it becomes ingrained in their mind.

How did Rizla cigarette papers get their name? Originally produced by a Frenchman called Lacriox (the cross), as the product changed the company started making cigarette papers from rice and to indicate this the product was renamed from "La +" (the cross) to become "Riz La +" (rice the cross)... now you know. There is more information on their web site...

Rizla produce cigarette papers for people who roll their own cigarettes... here.
