Camel Cigarette Packs Easter Egg - Naked Man in Camel (Manneken Pis) and Lion (Flemish Belgium symbol)

The naked man you see on the camel pack, looks strikingly to the world famous "little man of Brussels - Maneke Pis". For those who have seen the little statue, you will immediatly recognise him ! -

This is hear-say, but my understanding is that the "small man" is actually the Mannequin Pis, a brass statue of a small boy taking a "pis." It was purportedly introduced by the artist responsible for creating the illustration when he had a dispute with his employers. The statue is in Brussels, Belgium and the artist was from Belgium, so he was in effect giving a sort of nationalistic salute (even though that was certainly not the intent of the original work). Again, I do not know if this was true or not, but the resemblance is clear.

There is a discussion of this little man at the website: http://www.snopes.com/spoons/legends/camel.htm Seems there is a dispute as to whether he is facing left or right.

I could see the naked man, but not the lion. But a very interesting thing is that it's actually a dromedary and NOT a camel..:)

I saw tht man on the discussion site that was given in another comment, and I can confirm the man holds his hands like the Maneken Pis in Brussels (Belgium, Europe).

Hi there. In Belgium, most people say it's "Manneken Pis", the well known little boy who's pissing.

Hey, I also saw a CAMEL on the box. I don't know if you guys will be able to see it but it's right in the middle...

Dude, I saw the camel to. Hey and if you open the box their are some white sticks that burn! - This is awesome, has any one else found this?

Did you know if you smoke those little white things long enough u become addicted and die COOL HUH anyone else notice this

I DEFINITELY saw this, but I didn't see his p*nis. It was just a faint outline.

If you turn the pack upside down (tropical_cow and Juto Sinclare should close the top first so the white sticks dont fall out) and look at the camels ass it looks like there is a cricket the camels tail is the crickets antennea and the the camels back leg is the crickets back leg. Also on the pack, King Tut is f***ing Cleopatra...they are behind the pyramid.

Hey, it's alright to be skeptical, but don't overlook facts! Show a Camel pack (the old version, they changed it now) to ANY Belgian and he/she will immediately see Manneken Pis. The lion takes a bit longer to see, but it is there (hint: the camel's tail is the lion's tail, the hunch is the head).

I'm back to just say a few words. Since I started the whole (I also see a camel thing), I'd like to begin another popular phrase. "I can see 1 camel point on my pack! It's hard to spot without a telescope, but you just might be able to spot it!"

I heard that this is not really a naked man, just a mistake made by the artist. Go to www.snopes.com/business/graphics/camal1.jpg and decide for yourself

Actually, the correct URL is http://www.snopes2.com/business/hidden/camel.htm .

Actually, the real Manneken Pis statue is in Geraardsbergen, Belgium. The one in Brussels is fake.

I saw the man, and, with a little bit of time, saw the lion. It's actually surprisingly easy to find (the lion, I mean), if you know where to look. First off, let me just say that you can't see his back legs. OK, on to the instructions... 1. Take a look at the camels tail (it also serves as the lions tail). 2. Follow upwards to the camels hump. This serves as the top of the head. 3. Directly under the top of the hump is some shading that looks like the lions mane. 4. Under that is his face. It is actually a human-like face, but it looks like it could belong to a cartoon lion. 5. Under his head is his front leg, and it looks like he is resting his chin on it. 6. If you could find the little man, then here is an extra hint for you. It looks like the lion is touching the little guys chest with his front leg, kind of like he is gently poking it. 7. Oh, and in case you were expecting to find a lioness, the lion is apparently male, as is showcased by his rather prominent mane. Hope this helps!

I can see the naked man, but come on! If you want to see a, ummm..., phallus, you will see one. But it is not there! Unless it is that very long thing, but that is too long, and no, he is not on enzyte. Peace out.

Hey snk, um..... a dromedary is a kind of camel.

on the camel pack the big pyramids casted shadow if you turn your pack sideways there is a womans breast and nipple,lol

Hey, how about the back of the Camel cigarette pack, there are two things to play with, first one is, in the paragraph that starts out "Don't look for"...and ends with "use of them." In that paragraph how many times does the letter "o" appear, bet you the first time you count, you come up with 11, try again! Also, using a dime, there is one word that you cannot completely cover up in that paragraph, which one is it???

if you look at his frunt legs,the space inbetween them looks just like a clan member in his sheets and hood.

The two new pic's were mine!!

You are traveling through the desert on a pack of camels.......where do you go to get out of hte sun? Around the back to get a motel room stupid!

Thats not a lion by the camels rearside. That's actually the naked mans mother in law with whom he was having an affair with because he caught his cheating on him with the marlboro man at the hotel around back.

Wanna see more camels,i saw a couple of them smoking and having drinks here http://www.cigarettespedia.com/index.php/BrandCamel

Just thought I would add that there is also a lion on the pack. To the right of the man, the camel's hump is where the head is, you can clearly see two eyes, a nose, mouth, and his maine. The top half of the back leg and the tail of the camel complete the lion.
