Tossed is a London food chain that makes a point to focus on [healthy eating](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleveland-kitchen1) and wanted its good sense of humor to come across as well with its new brand packaging.

A series of witty lines of text were developed by Richard Brownlie-Marshall, which are now used on [food packaging and signage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/good-to-read) for the brand. Some of the one-liners include funny quips like "Hot Stuff coming through" or "I've got the hots for you" on a tea cup or [soup container](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crosse-blackwell), which is both humorous and a clever reminder about the temperature of the liquid inside.

These good-humored packages are bold, but lighthearted, showing off the fun environment that consumers can expect when visiting one of Tossed's locations.
