Easily swayed
Sometimes I choose an item of food just because it looks pretty.
I am not too proud to admit that I bought these sardines because I liked the picture on the box.
I know it makes me a bit of a marketing man's dream, some might say it even makes me a bit of a sucker.
It could be said that it makes me shallow. Oh, and I really like the typeface too.
But putting something lovely on the pantry shelf sort of makes my day.
And I always eat the food eventually. The sardines had been there some time. It's a good job tinned food comes with such a long sell by date.
As I wrote this post I had a nagging feeling that I had seen a picture of sardines on another blog at some point. So I did a little brain racking and discovered that I am in Domesticali's most excellent company, twice. It seems the world of sardine packaging offers no end of creative possibilities.

Do you grill?
I, too, am a sucker for certain packaging and marketing. I try to make myself feel better by telling myself that I at least I *know* I'm falling for the hype, but...
Lucille, those lovely big olive tins that you put plants ... They're dumped on the pavement outside my local deli several times a week, with the bin bags. But you have to be quick as they're very much in demand.

Viva la interesting fish packaging.
Perhaps all that blah-dom design is just set in place to allow the striking graphics to have even more impact.
Best wishes. I do enjoy reading your posts.
