A thousand years of hunter gatherers produced me - A stoner who just ordered a 30 pack of Miller high life, Oreo cookies and a ham and cheese lunchable. All for myself.
@fuckyouiquit The company that sold me my drill now owns and has access to all of my shelves I’ve installed. Would have been nice to put plants on them but turns out they need to turn my living room into a drill showroom 🤷♂️
@hifromkyle I think my local barcade has a really smart program for appealing to people with kids and those without who wish to avoid kids. They have designated family days that clearly advertise when it will be a kid friendly atmosphere so people can plan accordingly.
@IntractableLion Brutally true how hard it is to design unique packaging that adheres to TTB guidelines, let alone international guidelines for alcohol packaging that consumers won’t find a way to simply ignore. Not just for alcohol but we as consumers need to learn how to read products.
@katelynanne@HannahPosted Hard seltzers are almost exclusively sold in tall skinny cans because studies have shown that’s how people recognize them. All of the cans have the abv on them, it’s a regulation all alcohol products must have the abv/content on the front. You must read products before you buy
@wolfslullaby_@katelynanne@HannahPosted They all have the alcohol content printed on the front. The only one that could be considered lightly obscured is Topo Chico because it’s a shade on shade and could blend in with the can.
@theLUCASTDS@HannahPosted Other countries have different package regulations on alcohol. This means if this can is sold in your country your government/regulation board has approved it. If that’s not enough, you need to petition your government to change regulations for clearer packaging. Hope this helps.
@HannahPosted Following the logic here, wouldn’t a tall can just be seen as a can by children? If you’ve already explained to them not to drink a specific thing in the fridge and they still do it isn’t the safer alternative to not buy alcoholic products at all?
@HannahPosted Unfortunately this won’t work for beverage industry. It works in most cases for toy guns because guns aren’t a color rich product. Beverages are diverse and a color coded ring wouldn’t work for a product that already uses this approach for info or a can that matches that color.
@HannahPosted As a consumer you need to educate yourself on products you’re buying and not buying and practice safe organization at home if you have children, if you can’t educate them or keep alcohol out of a shared space than you shouldn’t buy it
@HannahPosted As someone who works in alcohol packaging we have very strict regulations on how to include information on products. The product name, type, and alcohol content have to be shown very clearly on the front of the package and their are font size requirements.
