Daisy Brand is changing up the packaging design on [sour cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daiya-dairyfree-cream-cheese), by offering the traditionally container served spread in an innovative [stand-up tube format](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tottle). This is ideal for consumers looking for smaller portion sizing as well as easier packaging to reduce food waste.

Sour cream is often one of those condiments that can often go to waste by easily spoiling or be hard to control when spreading. The Daisy Brand tube packaging allows for a much [smaller portion size](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/velveeta-unveils-vel2go) of the product -- 14-ounces in total -- that is dispensed through a customized cap with a vale that controls the flow of the product as well as eliminates dripping. The valve also keeps the product fresh inside between regular uses.
