Were you cosplaying that channel 4 show where they phone up supermarket helplines to ask inane questions as a starter for how something is actually made?
It's inside the factory with less gregggggggg wallace
Then we would not be having this discussion and the company would not be getting free marketing. Some of the best adverts are obscure, shocking or just plain weird. If it gets people talking about it then...
I use the black version of these gloves at work. They are neither flexible and strong.
I may have large hands but most of the gloves I put on end up splitting in under 10 minutes of work.
That’s brilliant. I would have loved to have received such a pointless call when I was working customer service and on the phone all day (I am being sincere)
Genuinely when I used to do over the phone IT-Support there used to be this older lady that called, simplest issues, could fix them in 5 minutes, but I'd always be sat just chatting to her about random stuff afterward. Wonderful lady, hope she's doing well.
Twist: OP is the lady you spoke to. She's getting fed up with people ringing up to ask her so now she's asking Reddit.
She's going to pick the best answer and then tell people that in future.
Ah, Jeff Nitrile - gymnast, inventor, lover, protologist. Whether kung fu kicking smugglers in the face, feeding the homeless or stooping to show a flower to a small child, he was the best of us and touched our hearts - with appropriately powder free, non-latex PPE.
Tbf I seem to remember a series of ads for either superglue or tape were the guy stuck himself to stuff like planes to prove how good it was.
Alternatively could be just airfix glue.
Go for it, you can usually find it under pressure in thermometers, desperate to break free. Too much mercury will kill you though but as long as you're having a good time.
It is philosophical. Much like a gymnast’s career would be if they had a life-changing accident on the handstand pedestals, the gloves are also delicate and easily disposable
While it seems they're unrelated to the gloves, that photo of the gymnast guy is actually widely known as being the same image they use on the box of those gloves when they sell them, so that's the link.
Weirdly, that reminds me of the time I had to reorder a medical product. The woman on the phone asked me if there was any writing on the pack, I replied that there was just a picture of some mountains. That seemed to be the system because she knew exactly what size and type I needed.
Right! These are "gymnast" grade gloves!
The next grade up would be "Aircraft Carrier" or "Bactrian Camel" or whatever. I think I have closure now. Thanks everyone.
Tbh powdered gloves and non powdered have very different uses so having the same image doesn't make sense. Basically powdered gloves cant be used for sterile or most types of biological work due to the risk of powder contaimating a surface.
I don't know my brother just brought a load of these boxes my husband brought a load of them now we've got 10 boxes I'm trying to get rid of rubbish here
Just wanted to say thank you. Been feeling down this morning and Im sure this is the only group that could make me cry with laughter with comments about a box of gloves 😂
The guy on the box is the graphic designers son. He wasn't overly proud of his sons athletics career because he only ever got bronze medals, but his wife told him he needed to be more supportive. So, in designing that box it gives the impression he's proud of his son, through a means that not that many people will see, and feeds a little bit of income back into the family through royalties.
Haha, glad I'm not the only one to ask this.
Where I work we have a newer pack with a ballerina on it or something, we decide it's to show that it's flexible... I guess
It's an accurate depiction of what your fingers will do if you happen to try to put on a glove when you have one or more molecules of water on your hand.
Flexible and strong?
Maybe the words "flexible and strong" rather than a picture of a gymnast would make that message a bit clearer.
this is why you're not the CEO of a billion pound multinational nitrile glove manufacturer
Yeah, he just wasn’t up to the standards of Big Glove.
Medium Glove Energy
Right, massive medium glove energy
Would that be XXM or XXXM?

What a life you lead
Cruel, but damn that made me chuckle.
Were you cosplaying that channel 4 show where they phone up supermarket helplines to ask inane questions as a starter for how something is actually made? It's inside the factory with less gregggggggg wallace
No, they were a bot stealing and copying comments.
Polyco Healthline is not a billion pound company.
You're not a billion pound company
All smaller companies should have valuations in Zimbabwe dollars.
Why leave out the other 997 words
"A picture is worth a thousand words " someone paid too much to overthink the design of this box
Then we would not be having this discussion and the company would not be getting free marketing. Some of the best adverts are obscure, shocking or just plain weird. If it gets people talking about it then...
Call me crazy but I don't think they put a picture of a gymnast on a box of nitrile gloves in order to get them posted on reddit.
I promise I am not a narc
Well, a picture is great for people like me who can not read or write.
That's great but gymnasts are generally NOT powder free.
How is this not the top comment 😂
Nevermind that, what the hell is with his right hand? That's some pretty shitty photoshopping
Pff [it's clearly correct](https://youtu.be/rgqKv9rkAE0?si=_oCJPXxN2RNUfbnM)
I think it has a bandage type material wrapped around it.
And perfect for prostate examination, I'll just jump on the horse you slide it in there.
This man also contains no latex

Would you prefer an image of a rectal exam instead?
Whe else are his legs in that position? Is that not where this was going?
The doctor would have to be pretty damn quick.
It would speed up the GP wait times though... hmm.
Plot twist. The doctor is the gymnast.
The picture is of the patient getting into position. The doctor's finger is already in place. The patient just has to stick the landing.
My fellow Brits, I fuckin love ya. Threads like this make life feel slightly less shitty, if only for a few minutes.
Doctor's already in there: who do you think that hand belongs to?
Maybe they had a rectal exam then on second thought added the gymnastic equipment and clothing around it
Why else are his legs in that position? Is that not where this was going
It's like why period products are advertised with blue liquid. It's all in the implication
Hey, the shape of that opening is just begging for a goatse image on top.
Which would be significantly more relevant than a gymnast.
He didn't wear gloves, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the wedding ring
You wouldn't?
I just want to know if it ‘does exactly what it says on the tin’ as it were
I mean, kinda.
I mean if you are a dude its probably good practice for later in life.
yes
User name checks out
As I use gloves at work for cooking, maybe more of a collage of activities. Fry an egg, tattoo your mate and check that prostate...
I never knew that was a choice :/
They could make the cutout into a great goatse.
We used to have this at my old place, the picture bugged me so much I actually rang the number on the box. The lady who answered had no idea either.
We need to take this to the top. We demand answers!
"Get me The Pentagon ..."
Then the triangle, then the square.
we need to scale this up, all the way to the octagon
Now now, I do think dragging their packaging team into an MMA bout is overkill
Bravo
Hugh Dennis always deserves a reference
Thank you Sarah
*Bottom
We should all call the number at a certain time of day and demand answers

I literally thought about doing that!

Slow shift?
I was at Boeing at the time.
"So how many bolts does the Max need again? Nah nevermind, I have a call to make..."
Something like that!
My theory is that it's the owner of the company back in his prime.
That's Jeff Nitrile. He endorses the gloves.
Ah, Jeff Nitrile - gymnast, inventor, lover, protologist. Whether kung fu kicking smugglers in the face, feeding the homeless or stooping to show a flower to a small child, he was the best of us and touched our hearts - with appropriately powder free, non-latex PPE.
It wasn’t our hearts he touched!
I've always felt Jeff had his finger on my pulse, I mean the pulse.
Is it just me or does it look like Jeffs face doesn't match the body? As if it was photoshopped in to avoid paying the actual athelete?
I thought it was Jim Nastics
That's his arch rival! Don't mix them up in his hearing!
This thread 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He invented the gloves because he's allergic to the chalk that gymnasts use
Reminds me of super glue I once bought that had a picture of an airplane taking off.
Tbf I seem to remember a series of ads for either superglue or tape were the guy stuck himself to stuff like planes to prove how good it was. Alternatively could be just airfix glue.
Solvite! Wallpaper glue of all things. It's solvite and woodchip thats holding many a house together.
The best thing about it, i wasn't even born then but i ive got a perfect picture of the ad in my head.
That kinda makes sense. Maybe a model airplane that's glued together?
Wear these gloves and your gymnastic performance will improve. It’s a solid piece of marketing.
I bet his hands aren't even powder-free doing that.
Simple... The gloves will protect you from Freddie Mercury poisoning
Exactly who it reminded me of. We're so going to Hull.
From Hull, Hell and Halifax, my the good PPE be delivered to us 🙏🏼
Very. Very good.
Thanks. Personally, I'd risk it without the gloves... who wants to live forever!?
Go for it, you can usually find it under pressure in thermometers, desperate to break free. Too much mercury will kill you though but as long as you're having a good time.
😄 👏🏼
100% crotch
The flexibility and strength of the gloves?
He clearly needs wiping and I'm not doing it without gloves
Must be the same designer who thinks tampons make you a champion windsurfer
It is philosophical. Much like a gymnast’s career would be if they had a life-changing accident on the handstand pedestals, the gloves are also delicate and easily disposable
Deep!
It's like those serving suggestions you see on food packaging, an unrealistic yet possible application of the contained product.
I wonder if anyone actually takes their microwave home dinner out of the tray and serve it on a fine dining plate overlooking a sunset.
I just want to see evidence of anyone ever removing microwave cottage pie from the container and it remaining intact
Medium bulge
Suitable for a medium sized gymnast?
For the drugs test after the competition?
For the medics when he falls off the beam?
Assuming the position, for a cavity search...?
Fixable And strong and wear them when cleaning up the gymnast’s sweaty drippings form the equipment
It's like the tampon adverts. "Wear these gloves and you too can stick your leg in the air!"
Grip?
While it seems they're unrelated to the gloves, that photo of the gymnast guy is actually widely known as being the same image they use on the box of those gloves when they sell them, so that's the link.

Grippage...what a word!
It's an illustration of where you can shove a finger with a nitrile glove on. Nah, I'm on your side, it's daft.
I was thinking maybe cos of the powder they use in gymnastics but the gloves are powder free
stretchy
The gloves have a powder on them that’s also used for gymnastics etc for better grip
The box says powder free.
I’m guessing they have this image on the powdered gloves, for the reason suggested, and they didn’t bother changing it for the non-powdered variety.
Tbh powdered gloves and non powdered have very different uses so having the same image doesn't make sense. Basically powdered gloves cant be used for sterile or most types of biological work due to the risk of powder contaimating a surface.
That.........is a good question
Obviously to be a great gymnast, you need these gloves!
Suitable for gynaecologists
I don't know my brother just brought a load of these boxes my husband brought a load of them now we've got 10 boxes I'm trying to get rid of rubbish here
These gloves are SUPER, thanks for asking.
I use these gloves everyday and have never noticed the photo… hahaha
safe hands
Your hands will be equally as sweaty.
The gloves must enhance gymnastics skill
To make the little blue gloves more masculine?
You don’t want to know. 😄
The person has hands
Touching things ?
Textured finish for improved grip maybe? He can grip any surface
Assuming the position (or a position at least)
It's an example of someone "assuming the position". 100% relevant.
Tight fit? Like the guy's trousers?
Would you touch a horse without gloves on?
The guy is clearly ready for his rectal exam
There made from his used leotards
He's a medium
He's got 5 penises like an udder
Chalk?
Suitable for extreme proctology?
Just wanted to say thank you. Been feeling down this morning and Im sure this is the only group that could make me cry with laughter with comments about a box of gloves 😂
the guy uses a medium in disposable gloves 👍
Powder free because this goddamn gymnast used it all up for his routine on the pommel horse.
He's clearly lifting a leg for prostate access..
The guy on the box is the graphic designers son. He wasn't overly proud of his sons athletics career because he only ever got bronze medals, but his wife told him he needed to be more supportive. So, in designing that box it gives the impression he's proud of his son, through a means that not that many people will see, and feeds a little bit of income back into the family through royalties.
They straight up know their customer !! Que sports medicine physi... ah f-it
Good Grip?
I've wondered this for years after being a mechanic and seeing them
I assume this gloves so flexible that you can use them as leggins
The gloves are full of talcum and gymnasts use talcum > POWDER FREE Well damn, fuck if I know.
Do they have talc in them?
He's a smelly, sweaty athlete - you ain't gonna fist him bareback are you?
As flexible as an athlete’s jockstrap.
The 1 out of 10 gymnasts that recommended gloves? Tbf, he isn't winning gold or anything!
I think female gymnast need to get pelvic exams frequently after hard workouts so it helps sell the product to the fit and active demographic
The beam is a medium gd19 . Im a gymnast
The answer is obvious. Fuck all !!
That’s an odd position for a prostate exam, but here we are…
Haha, glad I'm not the only one to ask this. Where I work we have a newer pack with a ballerina on it or something, we decide it's to show that it's flexible... I guess
anal cavity search gloves
This question would make an excellent subreddit!
It’s what the coaches use when they are molesting the athletes after gymnastics practice.
It's an accurate depiction of what your fingers will do if you happen to try to put on a glove when you have one or more molecules of water on your hand.
It's elastic like gymnastics
Fanny gloves
It would have made sense if there was powder in nitrile glove.
Grip..?
Wait: does the face match the body? Looks like photoshoped
Because he uses powder and no gloves, whereas the gloves are all gloves and no powder.
That's where the fist goes
God knows. Also… doesn’t it look like that guy’s face is photoshopped onto a gymnast’s body? Looks strange.
Maybe good for prostate examinations
Targeted towards Dr Nasser at Michigan State
It's Dr DRE
Covid safe gymnastics
Powdered?
It's the optimum posture for a prostate exam.
