Hey, nice package! - The American Package Museum. Packaging, wrapping, containers, the box, the packet. Dig?

  • I always wondered what Desenex was.
  • great link. I love old packaging and advertising.
  • If I didn't already have Asperger's Syndrome, this site would give it to me. Thanks, Damus Nostra!
  • I loved these old pocket aspirin tins when I was a kid. Still strikes me as one damn fine piece of package engineering.
  • Damn! I just focused on the 'nice package' part and got all excited thinking I was headed to some NSFW site. Such bitter disappointment. This one confuses me. Are they all smushed in there?
  • MCT, the picture makes it look like the aspirin tin dispenses individual tablets without having to be opened up - that's pretty nifty, who needs childproofing anyway, right? Darshon, maybe it's the campfire reference on the can, but I'm picturing someone dangling the can over a fire to make their own gooey fluff. Thanks, Nostrildamus - I dig the 3-D view offered for some packages, and the gift shop - I know someone who would like a Delicious Donuts tote bag. I would like it if hand soaps were still packaged this way, as long as I could still buy them with the coin in each photo that seems to be used to give a sense of size.
