Is candy advertising encouraging cannibalism? Is your sweet tooth the reason for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? In this episode, we share some not-so-sweet thoughts on candy design. We had to restrain ourselves from just having a complaining sesh on all the candy we straight up do not like (looking at you, nougat-dominant chocolate) to instead focus on the reason we’re here in the first place: #designthatdisappoints.
Cornelia kicks off the convo with the type of candy packaging marketed in movie theaters and box store bargain bins, and Brooke closes us out with her distaste for a certain marketing ploy: anthropomorphic candy characters, or brand mascots, whose lore has garnered celeb status in our cultural zeitgeist.
so there's this... is produced, edited, hosted, and researched by Brooke Viegut & Cornelia Smith. Special thanks to the MA Design Research, Writing & Criticism program at the School of Visual Arts.
