From Deborah… Loved the packaging crap thing
Just wanted to share a story with you that I shared this weekend at a local craft fair with a chocolate maker:
Years ago, probably 45 years ago,(when I was 5) I used to go to a very exclusive country club with my aunt and uncle, they owned race horses so we were probably hanging out with a horsey crowd.
To this day I still remember him handing me a box, of what looked like candy (chocolate confectionaire) Godiva? Well it wasn’t Godiva, it was horse manure shaped in balls, put into the little candy trays, wrapped in a gold foil shrink wrapped box and handed out to these “horsey folks” as a gifty promotional item to promote this particular race horse.
From that day on, (must’ve left an indelible impression) cause I would always remember, that with the right packaging you could package crap, (literally) and it would sell!
