Zig Zag

These rolling papers are the best piece of litter I've picked up thus far. I like the packet's retro design of orange background, kitchy font and picture. The paper is imported from France, making it Eurotrash, but still more posh than the usual assortment of roadside waste (beer and soda cans, cigarette packs, nips bottles, fast food and snack food bags and packaging).

And the papers remind me of the bad boys, cowboys and tough guys in classic movies who, in the face of danger and adversity, coolly roll themselves a cigarette.

What's that you say? You're gonna shoot me full of holes? He nonchalantly takes a packet of rolling paper from his pocket, separates one thin sheet, fills it with tobacco, forms a tight cylinder and licks an edge to seal it. Then he rolls the cigarette between his thumb and first finger. Back and forth, back and forth, staring his opponent in the eye. I'm not afraid of you.
