I absolutely do judge food products by their packaging, and here are a few recent favorites.

Chocolates designed by Sonia Rykel for
Laduree. Feminine, stylish, luxe chocolates for the discerning, dare I say snobbish, chocoholic. Three-color illustrations on packaging always works for me.

I love French Bulldogs, and I love Laduree (for their macarons, but I'm not diametrically
opposed to these truffles), so naturally, this box does it for me. Also how funny is it that they made a French Bulldog look fancy(ish)? I would name her Scarlett.

Particularly like the handwritten (looking) labels (and the sketches on the rosemary!) for Jamie Oliver's
JME line.

Maybe things just look better in bunches, but I love this shot of
St. Helena Olive Oil Co.'s olive oil bottles. Actually, generally anything made with craft paper and/or resembling a luggage tag is right in my book.

Wonderfully simple homemade packaging by
BBBCraft, via
Design*Sponge. The look perfectly matches the product -- it just oozes feelings of health, comfort, and simplicity.

Pork rinds made cool in a classy wrapper* from Cochon. via this NYT
article.
*Craft paper does it again.

Clever marketing by Access Agency, via
CoolHunter. Fun play on high-low-- the Beverly Hills Hotel pink/white awning
stripe + soft serve. But you know what I think is weird? At first I just thought they were inspired by the BHH stripe, but Paul Smith's logo font is almost identical to Beverly Hills Hotel's font... maybe that's why the iconic pink/white stripe seems so fitting?? Maybe that's where Access Agency got the idea? I mean the stripe + font is basically the whole BHH identity... wonder if it was intentional.

Finally, just a cheeky poster via
Happy Lady Eats by
Jane Lang.
...I was actually just thinking the other day when I heard the song from which this line comes (thank you, 50cent) about how this would make a funny Valentine...
PS, this is not going to win any kind of packaging design awards, but is
this for real??
Boudroux's (?sp) is for real!! We used to have to give it to the football players for jock itch. It's a thick gray-ish paste. Apparently it works well. I wouldn't know personally though.
