Monster-Labeled Sauce Packets

These Sauces are Decorated with the Monster You Become when Hungry

— August 20, 2015 — Marketing
Designer Diana Barbu created these playful sauce packets that were inspired by the hunger-induced monsters people can become. There are two unique sauce packets that feature cartoon-like monsters.

The two flavors of sauce include ketchup and Caesar. While the ketchup packet boasts black and red colors, the Caesar flavor features light green and dark green colors and profiles of monsters' faces. Both monsters have their moths open and are chowing down on a delicious meal. The images of food that are being portrayed aim to provide consumers with meal ideas that can be paired with each packet of sauce. The ketchup packet features a tasty cartoon burger while the Caesar features a salad.

Both sauce packets are made with easy tear-open features -- an important element for hungry consumers who are in a hurry to eat their meal.
