Can you spot the rude drawings hidden on this biscuit tin?

A design for a Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin from the 1970s has made headlines after two rude illustrations were spotted.

The illustrator, Mick Hill, confessed that he thought the inappropriate pictures would be better-hidden, but the design came out much lighter when it was printed.

The artist said he kept a “low profile” after the tins hit the shelves, hoping the pictures would go unnoticed until he had been paid.

However, the tins were ripped from shelves after a shopkeeper noticed the rude drawings Hill thought he had discreetly concealed in the illustration. 

In a bizarre twist, the tin is now considered a collector’s item.

It turns out the artist previously wrote "sex and drugs and rock n' roll" in Japanese on a different tin.
