Why do people assume that just because we aren’t doing branding the packages need to be plain? You could have artwork on them, and color code them so you know what’s what easily. Like green for snack items and have the packing be various green paletted artworks You could put PSAs on them too. Or healthy recipes that use the items to give people ideas for what to do with them. Not in the “buy our brand of shit to make this random recipe we made using all our products” way, but just like actual healthy recipes that are simple and cheap to make.
The packaging of products has so much potential if it wasn’t being wasted on branding. You could do kids items that have both cute animals and fun facts. Like stuff they need to know for school.
Portion suggestons would be nice too. Instead of just a nutrition facts panel on a box of cookies you could literally say like “3 per day max is best” to remind people not to eat too many snack foods. You could even print the full recipe of pre-made items on the package and encourage people to try making it themselves sometimes. To reduce the need for mass produced products.
The advertising on trains could instead be loading tips like Oblivion has. “Did you know that a stick might assist you in your hikes?” No, I didn’t, but now I have to go check out walking sticks.
Now I am envisioning a campaign to plant subtle hints around a city that lead people to cool things. Like how you pick up radiant quests in a game. But when you investigate it just leads you to cool shit like underground clubs, or art shows.
not to mention that ‘shampoo’ doesn’t really help. Anti-dandruff shampoo is not the same as shampoo for oily hair. And in fact you can require both, so a combined dandruff shampoo for oily hair makes sense.

More public spaces means more room for Easter eggs too. City geocaching and the like.

this applies to more than shampoo of course.

The only scent I know is “manly”
“Smoking kills” shock images of diseased lungs, but for oreos. We gotta do
communism for the first 10 years or so to detreatlerize the USians.
