Polar Penguins
Of course, I do know (see the pic of the little red tin) that Penguins live at the South Pole, in the Antarctic circle, and nowhere else (except for zoos); and therefore it means the penguin dancing with the Eskimo (or Inuit person) on that tin is WRONG. Esquimaux/Inuits live in the North, not the South. But not many people knew that in the 1950s or whenever that tin was made, they just thought: Penguins = Ice = Eskimo = North Pole, because they didn't have David Attenborough going out there filming the whole natural world so you could sit at home in Kirkcaldy watching your TV and going 'ooh, look, Uncle Alec, wee penguins falling off icebergs!' and stuff.
