Once you've seen it...

A set of discounted Argos curtains have inadvertently gone viral for their resemblance to giant cigarettes.

The store is currently holding a clearance on its 'Home Printed Border Unlined Eyelet Curtains', and it's proving very popular with over €10 having been dropped on the price.

With a four star overall review from happy customers online, the product description reads: "Looking to liven up a room with bright and colourful curtains? We can help you there.

"These unlined 2-tone Dublin curtains are 100% cotton and will give you lots of natural light and plenty of privacy.

"We love their eyelet design for its fast and fiddle-free fitting and should disaster strike you can pop them in the wash. Like your room a bit darker? These curtains are also available fully lined."

While they're available in a range of colours, it's the mustard and white combination that has people laughing.

With the folds in the curtains making it appear as though there are five cigarettes neatly lined up on either side, one person tweeted to say: "Is it just me, or do these curtains from Argos bear an alarming resemblance to JPS Superkings cigarettes?"

A second replied: "Sorry Argos, I'm trying to quit."

Another commented: "They will certainly light up the room!"

A fourth added: "Imagine trying to give up smoking and staring at them all day."
