  • How Packaging Can Confuse the Customer

    Take for instance, Cheribundi’s Tart Cherry Juice.   Well, it’s really NOT 100% cherry juice.  Notice in dark red letter over the black background it says “with reconstituted apple juice”.  It is a good product, but notice that they have a clever designer.

    At first glance, what do you think is in the bottle?

    Anybody “thinking” they are getting 100% cherry juice really isn’t getting what they might think.  Clever packaging really sells apple juice and water.
