Bob Evans New Sausage Design; Still 16-Ounces

The new Bob Evans packaging shows off a more contemporary, yet relaxed look. It depicts Bob Evans’ consistent farm-fresh goodness with images of his farm and his promise.

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.)

Hey Ziploc, Men Eat Leftovers Too

Ziploc VersaGlass Container, Variety Pack, 3-Count

There’s a great Simpsons quote in the episode where Milhouse’s dad is getting fired from the cracker factory for being divorced.

“Kirk, crackers are a family food. Happy families. Maybe single people eat crackers…we don’t know. Frankly, we don’t want to know. It’s a market we can do without.”

That’s how it is in marketing too. Marketing is family food. A current Sea-Doo commercial for some reason explicitly shows a shot of a wedding band securely wrapped around a man’s finger as he navigates his water vehicle to the dock. Now Viagra ads and such make at least some sort of sense (for such nonsense), but jet skis? Ah well, that’s how it is. Moms are also the only one’s in the kitchen too…
