The Democratic Party has designed rolls of toilet paper bearing the face of Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying, and it will be selling them at this year's Lunar New Year fair.
"Toilet paper is an everyday necessity in every household, and we want to bring politics into the household this new year," said Kelvin Lai King-wai, the head of the party's creative media division.
The product - despite its political message - was manufactured in a mainland factory. "That's why we did not dare to reveal the idea before the products arrived safely in Hong Kong," party vice-chairman Lo Kin-hei said.
"Although the factory did not censor the item, it reminded us not to design products that are too politically sensitive next time."
The toilet rolls come in packs of four, priced at HK$68.90 - a reference to the 689 votes Leung garnered in the 2012 election to claim the position of chief executive. They will go on sale at the party's stall in Victoria Park when the fair opens this Saturday.
