Soylent Orange
I've seen some strange fruit crate labels in my day, but this one from Placentia takes the cake! Had they not included an image of a baby, perhaps we could have believed that the brand (and company) had just been named for some unfortunate soul named Babi. But no, the artwork makes it clear that "Babijuice" comes from babies. There is no way in which this can be a good thing.

Sadly, I had to shut down comments (my favorite part of the blog) thanks to endless spam. Most of my posts are linked from my FB page, so feel free to comment there or to email me. If I can find a more secure way to do so, I will bring back normal commenting later.

At least they are using domestic babies.
ReplyDeleteSo funny. The sequel to "BeetleJuice."
ReplyDeleteIt was nice meeting you in person yesterday, Chris!
ReplyDeleteGreat meeting you too, Major! I wish we'd had a little more time to actually sit around and talk.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what year, roughly? I have an orange crate of theirs I am refinishing.
