Description:
This is another design variation from the special West promotional series. The package features a male torso with a gold chain on a red background, with a large letter "W" in the center. Below is the inscription „"Here with the chick!"“, which literally means "Give me the chicks!", but in German slang means "Give me the girls!". It is a provocative, sexualized, slightly humorous edition, reflecting the "machismo" style of advertising that was prevalent at the time. The limited edition status is clearly visible both from the design and the context of the time.
