The [fun food packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spoof-beauty-range) for Don Bidon is packed with personality, which comes from having a playful face for each product that's made up of different food items.

The packaging designed by Getbrand asks the question: "What personality inspires your breakfast?" Each food product has its own distinct identity, like an oatmeal packet featuring cheery berry features and a mint leaf mouth, or the [chocolate spread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fearne-and-rosie), which has a face made up of chocolate bits and curls. Although the faces are subtle, their human qualities are emphasized with a speech bubble that calls their ability to speak to attention. Although there are a lot of characters to choose from, they're also easily distinguished by color and [vivid product images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fruit-bliss) on each tub, wrapper or packet.
