7 eleven Nachos - Packaging Genius or Straight-up Dumbness?

Hrm.  One will note that this is nothing but a box of chips.

What threw me for a loop was the “FREE Chili and Cheese” bit.  Can you really have Nachos without the cheese???  Can you really have Big Nachos if it’s just chips?

Packaging Genius.

But if I may weigh in with my two pennies on the topic of Marketing and Packaging, methinks it woulda been a bit more exciting and impulse-buy-inducing if it read,

“Big Box of Chips.  Free Cheese and Chili.”

-or-

“Big Nachos.  FREE Chili.”

…The cheese part was too confusing.

Next post is about their Big Sandwich packaging which reads, “Free Bread and Meat”

ahem.

Before There Was Chucky, There Was Scoopy

Get a load of this clown.

For a purveyor of a fun-time treat, he sure does look creepy.

Let’s take a closer look at Scoopy, shall we?

Check out his ‘hat’ and the creepy-yet-patriotic brows.

They don’t emote feelings of fun times…though they do make me think of fireworks.

Check out his eyes - do they look happy to you???

They look like Clint Eastwood’s from Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo as he glares out into the distance, looking for Lee Van Cleef.

Anyhoo, i think i’m gonna send in for the scoopy doll, and put it in a thunderdome-like-cage with a Chucky doll and a whole bunch of medieval weapons, and see who is left standing.
