Use ascii art and/or emoji in cigarette brand names to circumvent packaging laws

Currently in the EU, Australia and other parts of the world cigarette and nicotine pouch manufacturers are forced to sell their products in plain packages, i.e. no branding allowed except for the name of the product (picture)

If Marlboro introduced a new product named "~ ~Marlboro Red ~ ~" they could add a little flair to their packaging while staying in line with the law. They could even go further and use emoji ("Marlboro Gold 🥇")

Trying to solve a possible ARG/rabbit hole mystery. Which language is being spoken in this video? (Timestamps 00:07-00:25, 00:55-01:35, 04:11-04:24) Some of the comments partially translate when selecting "Afar" as the source language in Google Translate so it might be some african language.

Mandate the contestants of the Eurovision Song Contest to make and release full length versions of their songs after the contest

In the European Song Contest the songs are limited to three minutes in length. This means every year we get a lot of songs that would be absolute bangers if they were a bit longer. Mandate the contestants to make extended cuts of those songs to allow us to boogie for a bit more.
