You wouldn't see it on the Apple web site, but are there any good stickers that take advantage of the fact that an apple (often with a bite taken out of it) is the universal symbol for sex store in many countries? It's a reference to the biblical story of Adam and Eve, of course.



Which countries?


In the UK, Ann Summers has an apple in their logo,and this is the biggest "sex" store I can think of.


Many countries? Name one...


UK, France, Quebec (Canada).


With the exception of (which is ONE specific company) I've never seen the bitten apple used widely as some short of metaphor for "sex shop", including in UK and France.

I'm sure one can find a few examples, as a bitten apple makes sense (like lips do, tits, handcuffs, the letters "XXX" and other such symbols). I doubt one can find many, much less it being the "de facto" sex shop symbol there.
