Bob Evans New Sausage Design; Still 16-Ounces
Package design changes from time to time; the idea is by changing the package, the product will attract new customers. This should come as no surprise, we have all spent an extra second or two hovering over an often-used product that has been repackaged. Usually we decipher the new colors and symbols rather quickly and throw it in the cart without a second thought. For the marketers and designers behind the scenes however, this is very serious business.
Bob Evans announced that the packaging for its food product line will be given an overhaul. An example is the sausage roll pictured above. Hopefully, given the amount of time and effort spent on the redesign they knew enough to not change the amount of sausage in the package from 16-ounces to 12-ounces. (And yes, this post was just an excuse to add that internet-classic link.)
Read the rest of the press release below.

Tea Rex Tea Infuser Keeps Fun From Going Extinct
It wasn’t too long ago that dinosaurs were all the rage with the kids. Well, those kids grew up and moved on from mac and cheese to more grown-up tastes. That includes ditching the juice-filled sippy-cups for more sophisticated beverages. Like tea. But that doesn’t mean the fun has to be left behind.

Ten Food Additives And What They Add (Or Subtract)
Time for some good weekend reading. Checking out my RSS feed, I find a nice little list of 10 food additives and what they are used for. Yum!
8. Caramel Coloring
When you don’t have real cocoa to put in food, but you want to make it look like you did, you add caramel coloring. This is sometimes added to mixes and cake batters to make them look chocolatey. Mostly, though, caramel coloring is added to cooked meats, sodas and gravies to give them the golden-brown look that people find appetizing. It’s made by cooking up various sugars with agents like ammonium or alkali. Although it’s possibly carcinogenic, it hasn’t been yanked from shelves, because people love brown food. Love it.
