Rubber, where sizing matters

Another medical-related still life prompts some questions:


Would a condom manufacturer ever start their sizing with "extra small"?

And why on earth did Pharmatex choose 'Celeste' as their brand-name for medical gloves?
Is there a huge Celeste Holm fan in the upper echelons of the company?
Is it a reference to the ill-fated Mary Celeste cargo ship?

Or is it – please tell me I'm wrong – a celestial allusion, as if to say, "We're all gonna die, but I'd rather not go first"?
