NUCLEAR VODKA! – more info with cool photos

March 25, 2009

Today we ran an interesting story about DQ Vodka, which is packaged in a bottle that the distiller claims was inspired by a nuclear reactor.

Unfortunately the story didn’t include photos – and since it was a newsfeed, there’s not much we can do about that within the article itself. But I was really intrigued, so I tracked some down.

So before you start sending us flames and scalding comments about how you feel gypped, check out these photos. It is pretty cool indeed – even if the “nuclear” premise is a little wacky!

The Dec 08 packaging disegn mockup at the top of this blog post was not all that bad, with the cute orange half caps and the clear colour labels on the top. But after looking at the production threadedmarketing.com image posted kindly by Alicia on 12/27, I much prefer the original packaging of Tropicana with the orange and the straw. The new packaging looks simply horrible and boring.I rarely buy orange juice, but when I do, it's always Tropicana (the best IMO). I hadn't noticed the change in disegn, and it was an article on NPR News this morning that prompted me to Google it. According to NPR News, PepsiCo is going to revert to the original packaging after such bad feedback from the marketplace.

Hi David, You do find some interesting things! Thanks for doing the blog. This has a lot of characteristics of northern European design, minimal detail, clean lines, great balance of elements. So I appreciate it for aesthetics. The substance leaves me wondering: Is there a pro or con view taken on nuclear reactors contained within? Are people in Stockholm on Friday nights ordering a drink called Chernobyl?
