I particularly like the use of the company name “Mace Security International” so they can conflate pepper spray with mace and make their product sound better. Note top of package which says “mace pepper gun” if read without accounting for the graphics and the graphics if anything highlight the word “mace”. Lots of psychology in advertising, I get a kick out of it!

Since I was over there at the time, none of the glossaries explained what a Very was, since it was, I assume, common knowledge.
