They'd probably revert back to 90's hardcore aesthetics. These Doritos will literally explode your kidneys, fuckin rad my man.

I've had this before when there was a really bad flood where I went to uni (And we were stuck on campus w/o without water/electric for a week)

Literally, and I mean LITERALLY tasted like stagnant pond water.

It was actually undrinkable to the point where I would have rather drank the sewage contaminated water from my faucet.

>>9036502
Happened to me too once - except the emergency water came in plastic bottles. It wasn't nice

>>9036357

I laughed a bit harder than I probably should have

>>9036370
Its generic brand baloney so meat flavoured to cover up the hints of pig anus

You'd probably like Repo Man.

probably because like the rest of western world you're heavily tired of aggressive marketing so a brand with labels that says "food" and nothing else is a rare experience

>>9036613
Ralphs' generic labels in the 80's were the best. You can see them in some episodes of Roseanne, too. To this day people still think of minimalist private labels as surreal bare-naked commentaries on consumerism or poverty. In reality the products are almost always equal to or better than the comparable name brands.

Every single thing in those packages is bullshit, when was the last time you bought some shitty artificial dry chips that came on a bag with the picture of a steak?
Shits fucking sad, it's like science fiction where they open a box with the picture of a chicken and it only has pills inside and that's all they eat
Picture having a top of the notch kitchen fully stocked with completely plain packaged products and making a delicious meal out of them
It would be nice if we didn't allow pictures of funny fonts or anything other than plain text and colored background in 70% of the packages surface

The packaging isn't even in the top ten reasons I don't like Tesco, but comparing these two low-end store ranges kinda shows just how shit they are. I mean, fuck, Asda's cheap and has its own style of minimalist packaging, Tesco are more in the Sainsbury's range of pricing, but they just can't not fuck up the packaging.

I'm still not buying "meat paste," though.

It's literally just a block of cheese in the most basic packaging required, with a label identifying it as such.

That's it. Just cheese. The label's even just a monochrome print, presumably that ink was cheap.

>>9043014
If you're out in the bush living on MREs will you really give a fuck about reusing a spoon?

>>9048579
In colloquial use, and especially marketing, it refers to elements added to attract interest and persuade the consumer to purchase the product, sometimes by adding irrelevant or less-relevant features but more often with elements that do nothing for the product.

This cheese's label is identifying the cheese as not indulging in such wastefulness - it is just cheese; no effort was spent to make it more appealing beyond the usual appeal of a large block of cheese.

The old Great Value look is 100x more cozy than the modern one. I was mildly irritated when they changed it.

Square packages fit in shipping boxes more efficiently. They're some kind of plastic or wax-lined paper and they don't really leak. I'd imagine the loss from melting caused by a rare refrigeration problem would be mitigated by the thermal mass of them in the shipping boxes, too.

I recently bought what I thought were a box of store brand ice cream sandwiches from the picture on the packaging. When I took it home I realised it wasn't ice cream sandwiches but just a long cardboard box of vanilla ice cream. It seemed so weird to me.

>>9054799
>That's the camera's flash. Are you this young you've never seen a picture from a camera that doesn't removes black eyes?
The point is that it made one eye red and the other eye didn't become red. This is one of the ways you can identify medical issues in the eye, since both should be turning red.

Isn't it obvious?

Food that's sold to the public is required by law to have nutritional information, etc, on the package. That cheese clearly lacks that sort of information. That means it's illegal to sell it to the public via normal retail channels. That is a wholesale product meant for use by restaurants, cafeterias, schools, hospitals, etc.
