Failed Packaging Design

A Japanese shopper shares a strange product package that he saw at a local retailer.  The product is a stainless steel trash can from the brand “simplehuman”, and the packaging innocently shows a picture of a man stepping on the trash can’s foot pedal.

However, in the words of the shopper himself, anyone who’s got a dirty mind will get the wrong idea:

failed package design

A long, tubular protrusion from the male model’s groin is indeed strange.  Upon closer inspection, it’s actually just an unfortunately placed handle hole for the package.
