Childproof twist-off caps ruined the aesthetic of pill bottles to me.

It definitely made getting to the grape Great Gazoos anytime I wanted a bit more difficult

Awww. They're all hepped up on vitamins. That's sweet :)

There's something about the innocense of naivety that makes it all work back then.

Mr. Karswell said...

We could certainly use a lot more of that hepped up sweetness and innocent naivety these days in advertising and just any type of communication design in general

Mr. Cavin said...

Your write-up on this one cracked me up.

Chris Sobieniak said...

I know how you feel Karswell. Nobody really thinks/talks the way we did once upon a time.

Mr. Karswell said...

Yeah, everything's all depressingly loud and in your face extreme... it's a real turn off.

We've all been there, Mr. C! Standing in the woods... ;)

Sears vitamins: when you care about your family's health, but not enough to spring for brand-name and laboratory-tested One-a-Day vitamins.

Mr. Karswell said...

hell, I always buy the cheaper Walgreens knock-off, sometimes its half the price of the brand name and it's the EXACT SAME product... I will splurge though if the advertising character on the box / bag is cuter tho ;)
