Posting about the I Hate Marmite which is to be found on some jars as a sales ploy reminded me of another product whose packaging is amusing, Yorkie chocolate bars. Some Yorkie bars say they are not for girls or words to the effect. The other day I saw a Jaffa Cake box which claimed to be empty, strange.

Have you seen any packaging which amuses you?

I laughed out loud today in the supermarket when I saw a product called the 'Ducks Nuts', only because my brother used to use that term, colloquially, to describe anything that was great, good, terrific etc, i.e., such-and-such is the ducks nuts! lol! Must tell my brother when I see him, was so tempted to buy a box but they weren't cheap, nearly twice the price of other brands!
