Regarding maps printed on strange objects, I just remembered iconic, old Soviet cigarettes, “Belomorkanal” (the White Sea Canal). There was even an associated joke:
A Soviet plane got lost at night, no navigation was working. The pilot asked the co-pilot: do you have your Belomorcanal pack? The co-pilot said: yes I do. The pilot’s responded: good, we will find our way home.

Brilliant! It’s quite strange, how often ‘useful’ maps appear on everyday objects. I hadn’t heard that story ~ thank you!
