so i was watching cnn in this morning and they were reading feedback on tropicana's new orange juice carton. people were bashing it like crazy. then i read more about it online. wtf so much uproar over orange juice.




apparently after seeing how upset everyone is, tropicana has announced they are going back to the other packaging and ditching the new look.


i think this had an opposite effect on me, becuase i actually bought a carton of it sunday...

it's a silly marketing thing. the new one seems like it would cost less because it doesn't have as much going on on the carton. doesn't matter to me as long as the juice doesn't change.

I love the redesign. People are just resistant to change, one glaring exception notwithstanding.

yeah i think they said that it did cost less becuase it was a more simple design. i'm not entirely sure. either way it doesn't matter to me either.


check the cap out though, it's shaped like an orange!

I actually like the design, it's a bit more modern. I don't really care though as long as my OJ is still OJ. mellow.gif It's not like I'm going to keep the carton forever..

Oh snap! That's so cute! If anything, they need to keep that.

I think the new version looks much more cleaner.
Oh well, the customer is the key to success. Do what they say.

I like the lid of the new design! it doesn't look terrible, but I think it's the missing signature straw in the orange that I'd miss.

Maybe it's the fact that the text is rotated that's bugging me :S

I think they should just move the orange with the straw and the "tropicana" over to the new carton, and get rid of the glass of orange juice then it would look fine.

But tropicana's thing was an orange with a straw through it.
Id be fine with them changing the carton as long as they kept the orange. Even though i love the current carton. To be honest if they did change it i would start getting different ones.
