The labels in italian were the price tags affixed by the shop.
The original package did not had any mark !
Btw the stuff as seen on other packages were manifactured in asia
upon british design.
I wished to point that they had no idea on how much a paund was
so they just affixed it.
The worst part was that they di not realize that even if they do not
knew how much one pound was, they should have realized that 5
pund should be heavier than 3 !!!
