What is the Upscale Nourishment trend?

Upscale Nourishment: With adulthood often requiring individuals to break free of their childhood tendencies, products traditionally associated with youth become easily dismissed as adolescent, prompting brands to turn to more upscale aesthetics in attempts to lure a more mature and sophisticated market audience. Branding such nutritional goods as milk products with minimalist design aesthetics adds contemporary appeal to an otherwise ordinary childhood product, combining modern aesthetics with the need to market products in a more cultivated manner.
