Red Apple is a cigarette brand featured in several Quentin Tarantino movies, as well as Planet Terror and Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.
Overview[]
The logo features a green worm with a handsome anthropomorphic male face crawling out of a wholesome-looking red apple. This implies the apple may look healthy but is rotten on the inside - a metaphor for lung cancer. The product is advertised widely in Tarantino's movies, implying that people in his movies are probably more risk-taking and nihilistic than in ours.
