packaging – The Museum Of Marketing Madness

It’s Like Easter Bunny Poops!

You can have your chocolate eggs. To me, no candy better sums up the Easter holiday spirit than a tiny breath mint in pastel colors.

I’m thinking the generic Box of Rags people consider this a major coup. Scott® with all their supposed marketing might gets bumped down the page, “Rags in a Box” product overshadowed by the sheer mass of Boxes of Rags

I can just hear the Box of Rags sales guy exclaiming to his boss:

Fred! Are ya sitting down!? Just got off the phone with the catalog people. We got a full spread, top third of the page. Above Scott!! BOOYAH!!!

Made With Real Food, Good Source Of Ingredients

Sometimes you just wonder why they bother to write these things on a package. The cheapest food in the world doesn’t need sexy. But it wold look empty with just the oh-so-generic brand Pasta USA and the photo. So the designer just had to say something. That explains it.
