Saw this at Heathrow today: Philips is advertising one of its razors with a photo of a sweep four, and each oarsman's blade sort of branches out about half way down so he has three separate spoons on the end.
It's obviously a fake, which is a shame. I've had a look online but can't find it.
Now I think about it it's quite clever, although maybe a bit subtle. At the time I just thought it looked mad.

I knew I'd seen that somewhere... must have been during all my Dublin trips in November.
