Like the box says:
Turkish baklava
One day, my Turkish teacher explained to our class that if a man had a beer belly, it was affectionately nicknamed "Turkish muscle" or "Turkish balcony."
Later, she told my class that if a man had a prominent six-pack on his abdomen, it was "Turkish baklava." I didn't quite get the metaphor until I say this photo. I can just imagine all of the movie scenes: "would you like to come back to my place for some baklava?"

I love the saying, "a man without a belly is like a house without a balcony". I don't understand it but love saying it.
And there are some guys running around this neighborhood with some awesome 'muscle!' I have always thought of it as 'kebap belly'. There isn't a whole heck of a lot of 'Turkish baklava' however - or maybe I haven't been looking. Thanks for the images, though.
This is great! Is this a real MADO box? I've never seen it, but it's pretty funny! My girlfriends in the US would get a kick out of it. ;-)
Back to Bodrum, your saying is proof of male sales ability! Joy, I don't know if this is a real Mado box, but it is awfully inspired, isn't it? Senior Dogs, yes there is some Turkish muscle running around, but for REAL muscle, you've got to go to Bulgaria.
A bit of a change from normal advertising with a 'sexy male' rather than the usual 'sexy female' being used to sell the product :-)
So true, Ricky!
That's a hoot!
On another note, Karen, I tried to send you an email to the address in your profile, but it got returned. (I've been a lurker thus far).
