This will probably be the last of the cross-category posts—(unless I discover some huge, unsuspected batch of cross-category toothpaste tubes packaging.)
Meanwhile, here are some cross-categorical bottles & jars. Sometimes glass, sometimes plastic, but all containing solid stuff, rather than anything liquid, as such.
1. Lots of candy is packaged in little plastic bottles and jars. Candy is one of those categories that seems very inclined towards cross-category packaging in general. (See: Soda Candy and Medicine Cabinet Candy) Kids seem to have some innate, cultural fascination with packaging. (See: Wacky Packages) Whether these simulated packages are appealing to kids as toys for “playing house” or as some sort of consumer-in-training, developmental thing, candy makers have apparently noticed that kids go for it. Baby Bottle Pop is the example we’re featuring here today.
2. The “Bottle Rockets Waterproof Nova” vibrator, too, comes packaged in a bottle. (via)
3. For some reason: Cupcake in a Jar. (Although this idea seems kind of counter-intuitive to me.)
4. Two watches: A swatch watch that comes in a bottle, and the Too Late watch (that we also featured: here) comes in a jar. (Photo via NotCot)
5. A treasure map puzzle that comes in a bottle. (See: Packaging Puzzles)
6. Two powdered mixes: a “9 Grain Beer Bread Mix” that comes in a beer bottle, and a pancake mix that comes in a conveniently half-empty plastic jug. (So that you can add the wet ingredients and “shake” it.) via weirdmeat.com
7. Baby gear including a “Six Bunnies” body suit in a pink jar, and baby bibs in baby-food jars—(yet another cross-category pack from FreshWear, a company that seems to be all about the cross-category packaging. See also: Milk Cartons and Egg Cartons.)
8. Spice Salt in a Tabasco bottle
9. Giant Art Jar of craft supplies
10. A survivor kit in a bottle—(not to be confused with the survivor kit in a sardine can!)
11. A firefly-theme T-shirt that come in a jar with holes on the top. (See: Packaging as Imprisonment)
