Lingua Franca

Most of these International Safe-Handling Labels make sense: everyone knows that an arrow pointing up means "this end up" and a cracked wine glass means "fragile." But is a penguin with a tiny bow-tie really the international symbol for "Keep Frozen?" I certainly hope so.

this one is my favorite. a penguin with a cross though it? my first interpretation would not be 'refrigerate, don't free'. i'm not actually sure what i'd make of that symbol with no instruction actually.
