This wrapper invoked natural feeling "Wow, Mers!" when one saw it first time. The car presented on it is the most usual Mercedes 190 or W201. There weren't a lot of Mercedes-Benz cars in SU cities streets, most of them were W123 or even W115 this time. So 190-model looked rather contemporary for the beginning of 1990s.
As I'm not specialist in motorcycles I've decided to put 'em all to one post (because I just cannot leave 'em unmentioned). So we could see all the bikes from Turbo wrappers here. I won't supply 'em with descriptions, cause I don't want to fill Internet with another boring bullshit from a person who isn't inside of a theme.
— 140 kilometers per hour!? Why do you need such a racing motorcycle if the Volga is driving faster? Serega Semin, who expected to "change" his not-so-valuable liner for at least something, was silent in confusion. He did not know that in half of the cases, the specifications on the inserts were incorrect. Half a lifetime passed in the blue labyrinths of public spaces. Classrooms, auditoriums, recreation areas, corridors, offices, libraries, pharmacies, entrances. The same blue, sometimes green paint and whitewash passing from the ceiling. Our whole world was eight-colored, because all the same colors looked at us from clothes, printing, toys, dishes, paint and plasticine. Like a translucent screen, they slightly covered the emptiness and depression.
Due to the incredible coolness of the car on this insert and 3 types (it was called a "triple insert"), turbo No. 51 was changed to 3 ordinary single inserts. If we can come to an agreement, of course. There was magic in the very name "Testarossa". This is not "24-01" for you! I admit, I was disappointed when I found out that this magic word translates from Italian simply as "red head". The characteristics were fascinating: almost 5 liters and 12 cylinders. 4 Zhiguli engines! And, of course, those crazy air intakes with "stripes" or "blades", opening headlights. This car, its name, and its power were memorable at first glance. She was saying: "I am the real Ferrari that you are afraid to even dream of!"
It's really hard to explain the excitement that I feel looking at this simple picture. May be only those who lived in Russia in far 90s could understand me. So why? And what is it? The image presents the cover of bubble gum called "Turbo" produced by Kent in Turkey from the second half of 1980s... "Turbo" gum was one of the very first FOREIGN products that was massively brought to USSR. It's even not so important if it would be good or bad product, but it was foreign. So the great success was just guaranteed for it. Very first gum was "Donald", but "Turbo" that had come second was much better. And not only because of flavor. It had wrappers with pictures of cars!
