Pingo is a penguin-shaped 35 mm camera. It has fixed focus and no exposure adjustments. It was made for sale as part of a package with confectionery[1][2] made in Denmark by Pingvin Lakrids (now part of the Toms Confectionery Group) and often sold in airport duty-free shops.
The camera's back bears the inscription "Pingvin made by NICKNAME", and it was very probably made specially for Pingvin by the Danish merchandising company Nickname A/S.
Notes
- ↑ Lakrids; sweets containing licorice, very salty with ammonium chloride; similar to Finnish salmiak. They are popular in the Netherlands and Germany, the Baltic and Nordic countries and Iceland.
- ↑ Pingo camera offered for sale at Ebay in December 2014 (item 191448081002), with a zipped plastic bag labelled 'Pingo camera & sweets'.
