Why is it written ...?

Question

I've noticed that there's latin written on every pack of Marlboro ( Vinni vidi vicci) but why this particular phrase? It basically means i've come, i've seen and i've vanquished...is there something they trying to state here? Maybe they've come , seen people and conquered them ( smoking kill!)

What do you think?

Answer 1

its just a phrase to make people feel macho bout smoking

Answer 2

I smoke Marlboro and I can't find the phrase anywhere.  What up wit dat?

Mine says PM USA with the horses

Answer 3

Vini, vidi, vici' is the phrase reputedly uttered by Julius Caesar and landing on the shores of Britain in the Roman invasion of 44 BC. It mean 'I came, I saw, I conquered'

Basically Marlborough are claiming the same with their product in that they are assuming that anyone who smokes them does so in preference to any other brand.

My advice : Give the filthy habit up if you are a smoker and don't start if you aren't.
