Artist Shows How To Repackage Junk Food So That Hipsters Would Buy It
You'll never find a box of Cap'n Crunch or a pack of Slim Jims in a hipster's house. Why? Well, aside from the fact that neither are organic, the colors of the packaging would simply clash too much with all of the other artfully designed products in their food cupboard.
But what would such products look like if they too had the hipster makeover? Well take a look at the pictures below to see for yourself. They were created by Dan Meth, a US artist who's reimagined some of America's most famous snacks as fancy pantsy gourmet food. From Twinkies and Nerds to Fruit by the Foot and Cinnamon Graham Dunkaroos, these rebranded snacks wouldn't look out of place in even the most gentrified household. Which one do you like the most? Let us know in the comments below!

I think the packaging on the left probably keeps them fresher, however packaging on right is fancy af

Yes, but here is a VITAL question, in the packaging on the right, are they separated by color? Because the ingenious design of the one on the left is that you can open the sides to eat the colors individually, or if you like to live dangerously, you can mix them

This is an obvious mistake, because they should have been renamed Geeks

You could also say that by having a more unique/special packaging people will take more time to actually properly taste and enjoy these snacks and thus increasing their value. What I would also find interesting is a post where we would repackage expensive food/drinks as junk food like caviar or old whiskey's in a basic can.

Soon everyone will be buying the fancier packaged versions and the hipsters will want the junky looking packaging, it's a cycle

Hipsters will buy/do anything so long as no one else is. Once they find out there are more than 10 people interested in a topic, they lose interest. One way to give a hipster a heart attack is to mention that you've heard of the band/food/store they're talking about. They'll flip out!

I once read a study where a bunch of researchers quizzed hipsters on completely nonexistent bands, and the hipsters all pretended to know about them...

I think I saw something similar too, it was done at a big music festival, and the interviewer was pretending that this and that non-existent band was playing too.

Absolutely dead on with this. Nailed it. Only thing is, hipsters have mostly morphed into yupsters. They're the ones with all the cash, stupid enough to drop $20 on an "artisanal" Slim "James" or Captain Crunch box. They are EVERYWHERE in my city. I know plenty of them. Fools will gladly pay $14 for something that is $3 a couple doors down just... because. Idiots.

So basically, just put it in a cigar box? Pretty. I love pretty boxes and have bought a few things just to get the packaging.

that, as far as I know it isn't necessary hipster to enjoy things in pretty packaging, but then again, things like healthy foods or enjoying old music also are hipster nowadays so yeah. its just like how you can buy for example a cheap version of alice in wonderland just for the story or buy one of those beautiful alice in wonderland books that are bound in leather and are way more expensive, it is the same but some just enjoy having it look more pleasing to the eye and there is nothing wrong with that

Having had a heart Attack and 5 times bypass covering 14 blockages I wouldn't eat any of that c**p but I wouldn't say that I got there from eating that stuff because I never did.

I don't really understand the hipster movement. Is it just fashion and style, or is there an ideology behind it, like the punk scene? It seems like so many people in my age group dress like hipsters. Im not in any way passing judgement, just looking for clarification.
Meeuw Van Bork Millenaar 9 years ago
in theory it is something like wanting to be unique I think, but by wanting to be unique with a big group it gets mainstream, but well, I think I can be classified as hipster, I love vintage and weird bands and love it when food looks pretty and stupid weird drinks etc, but I have been like that my entire life, but the thing is that hipsters would just do it to seem interesting I think. I actually don't know, I just know that I like most of the hipster trends but not ironically or whatever, I do like how there are way more thrift stores and vintage stores now because you can sometimes find amazing things there and it is slightly better for the environment (to reuse things)

people have been using French names to make things sound more interesting for decades, think of croissants or Jus d' orange (orange juice, or do only dutch people also use the french name idk) and all kinds of ballet words. As a kid I called my "special" tosti a Tosti a la Meeuw, for no other reason than how I thought it sounded cool

only one I like is the Four Loko one, to be honest I have degree in both design and marketing, I would say that what the artist did is called rebrand and also repositioning, and some of the 'repackaging' seems dont know ... old? and tradition? I know this supposed to be minumal eco stuff but there's something which I dont know what maybe becoz I see the original product thats why it is a bit off but judging from the package alone then good job ... though this become more popular and boring I am talking about the bround paper thing
