Instead of worrying about packaging why dont they just, you know, work on making the product inside as great as they posibly can? I personaly dont do my shopping based on how the packaging looks, but i guess thats just me.

Of course it's just you! What you're suggesting requires lotsa lotsa thinking -- that blasphemous, base, and uncouth act. This thinking is the bane of mankind! It must be squished!

what they should do, is go back to advertising the product instead of making a 30 sec drama show


man if I wanted a 30 second dramma show, I'll go to youtube and watch MJ's Thriller

That 30 second drama show is an advertisement.

'cause it's humans buying and humans, as a group, don't work that way.  Especially when it comes to relatively minor things (or things we perceive as minor) we're less likely to apply critical thinking and go with a whim.

Actually it's been proven that packaging affects the way we react to the product a whole lot; I'm too lazy to find info about it online right now, but there was a test in which people described deodorants in differently colored bottles as good, too strong and stinky, even though it was the exact same substance in each bottle.

Someone should tell these people what we are really eyeballing are the price tags.
