Maynards

These are the new packages for Maynards. I gotta say way to go on the moving away from plastic bit. Two thumbs up from me. I don't ever recall seeing the watermelon candies packaged for shopping market use before. Only seen them at 7/11 and bulk barn in loose form. So it's nice to see a version for the supermarket. On one hand the design for the watermelons candy is nice and bold and fun....while on the other the sour patch redesign is really bad.... like I mean reaaaaally bad. Please click the image to see a bigger version. I think you will see what I mean right away. Those faces are just creepy, the old ones were waaaay better...like common people think before you make things

Twist it


Kind of liking the new design for the Aquafina vitamin water.... well the bottom of it at least... the stop looks kind of fat *shrug*

Too much

Piss off of the day #1
Ok.... so not the greatest picture of it but this packaging pissed me off (center) ... ALOT
on the left hand side of the package is the product, this tiny little dinky digital picture frame....it's about an inch in size.... BUT LOOK AT ALL THAT FREAKING PACKAGING PLASTIC! (click the image for enlarged version)

I'm sorry but it's crap like this that is screwing us over. This is so unnecessarily packaged. I know they can reduce it by more then half but they don't. It's kind of upsetting....

Why did they find it necessary to repeat the product in picture form? Showing that it can display a picture? I think the product title gave that away thanks. The need to show a picture can easily be solved by putting a stick on picture on top of the actual product screen, this has been done very often and it works people TRY IT jeez...

P.S - so not worth 22 bux, for shame, FOR SHAME...

*Snrk*


This made me laugh and cry at the same time..... why? LOOK AT THAT FUN AND HIP TOTALLY RELATABLE RAPPER ON THE PACKAGING OH YEAH! *facepalm*

I honestly find this incredible cheesy like my god, why would you think that a kid would find this cool and thus buy it. I don't even understand why they did this. WHO DOESN'T LIKE JOS LOUIS? People are always gonna be buying these. I guess they were trying to put a face to the name? I dunno ....

I mean to me it feels like they are narrowing the target market...before the packaging was more of a diverse market...I can't really see a little girl picking this up anymore and thinking 'THIS IS SO COOL AND RELATABLE I NEED THIS!" no a little girl is more likely to say "FFFF CHOCOLATE! I NEED THIS!"

Cheer-ios!


Found this several months ago for the 2010 Olympics.
I like the open flap on these boxes.
