I had a similar problem last year (or the one before).
I was waching a morning talk program at national French tv ("Telematin" on 
France2).
There was a short medical subject about chocolate and good molecules you can 
find in.
I had a surprise when I saw an image of a chocolate tablet that I had seen 
somewhere.
It was this one maked-up to hide the faces on the chocolate and the text on 
the package. http://marc.jacquier.free.fr/tablette.htm
But the shape of the torn tinfoil was exactly the same and it could not be a 
co-incidence as it is an intersection of a box and a height_field made from 
an image I drew  myself.
As it is a mean image I didn't make any move but I considered complaining.
