Iconic

1. Packaging is very important to products even if we say it is not. If we have a favorite kind of product that we use and one day we go to the store what are we to do. The article says that we will most likely choose the one with the best packaging and i agree. Packaging influenced my decision on valentines day. I was looking for chocolates for my girlfriend and I had no clue what to get her. I was walking up and down the isle trying to find the best one and then I saw one that caught my eye. I was not sure if it had the best chocolate in it but when I saw that Dove container I knew that I should get that one.

2. A product that has very iconic packaging is Wheaties cereal. Everyone knows a Wheaties box even if it changes every couple of months. Its orange box with the athlete on it is very recognizable.

3. I have a little sister who is six years old. On Christmas it is her favorite time of the year but when it comes to all the toys she gets, she brings them to me to open. I have seen a lot of bad packaging in children toys. When you look at them from the outside they look nice and easy to get to but when you open them up it is a different story. There are twist ties and all sorts of other things that make it very difficult to open to get the product that you want. Anything in hard plastic has bad packaging. With the plastic it is nice to see the product you are buying but they are very difficult to get into. When I am opening them I have to pull out the scissors and even with the scissors they are difficult to open.
