Packaging is everything or says marketing teams. I don't always get it though, just tell me about the product and how much it costs. While shopping today a box of Lucky Charms caught my eye. It now has a new marshmallow shape; an hour glass. I have no idea how an hour glass is lucky.
The last few months vintage products have been popping up on store shelves. At first I thought it was kind of fun to see all the old packaging. It's also much more pleasant to look at then some of the modern advertising as it's not trying to sell on sex appeal.
Continuing with today's shopping I found numerous vintage packaged products. Like Grape Nuts and Hershey bars. They proudly claim they are vintage thereby proving they think there is something to this vintage craze. I'd be more willing to purchase the items if they would go back to vintage pricing.
I told Dear Man it would be nice if I could just go back to the vintage me. I wouldn't want to go back to the first packaging as I only weighed 4 lbs 4 ozs at birth but perhaps my age 22 packaging would work. Remember we are only talking packaging, not internal value. I'm not sure I'm really worth more now then I was then but I know a whole lot more and I have no desire to take back that 22 year old attitude.
So in honor of my going vintage I have changed my avatar and you can get a closer view of it below.
Who wouldn't want to go back to that? Not quite 22 but I'm not ready to have old aquaintances recognize me. Yes, I have a bottom lip but in the picture I'm biting it.
I'll let you know if this new packaging gets my blog posts read more often.
