Packaging: Dentyne Ice

by Mario Vellandi on August 29, 2007

My friend and I picked up some gum a few nights ago and took notice of the nice packaging treatment. Normally, you’d have either the foiled plastic pushouts (ala medicine style), the thin strip packs (Wrigley), or a style similar to the one below except stacked single-row with edges facing.

What I really like about it is the presentation. It seems like you’re carrying a little portfolio of gum pieces in a suitcase. With the large gum side facing, you see more of the wrapper’s design (something we’d normally never notice). In all, I get the feeling I’m supposed to take a bit more care and try to enjoy each piece.

I love this package. And thanks for blogging it. I thought about doing my own blog entry but was feeling lazy and thought, “maybe someone else has documented this?” One Google search and POW!
