French Alcool Sans Typo

In honor of the Fifth Annual Rabbit Hole Day, during which bloggers are encouraged to post something atypical, I offer the non-typo above.

When I was up north with my family during the holidays, I noticed this packet in the hotel room when the word "alcool" caught my eye. "Oh boy," thought I. "My first French typo!" After all, it didn't fit with any type of French word phonetics I knew of, and it just looked too silly to be real.

I was wrong. My wife appreciated the free packet of make-up remover I'd hauled home, though.
