Don't worry, this is hardly as disturbing as finding a severed finger -- or even pretending to find a human finger -- in your Wendy's Chili.
It seems that for years, Cascadian Farm's frozen food labels have featured tiny little heads on the packaging, so small they can only be seen by people who firmly believe subliminal advertising is rotting their brains.

Look in the forest of broccoli, perhaps with a magnifying glass and you will see these microscopic vegetable gnomes. The Bread and Honey blog pointed this out (found via Weird Universe), and recently got this reply:
"The tradition of hiding names or faces on Cascadian Farm packaging began over a dozen years ago," said Leah Giovanni. "It was unspoken tribute by the package design department to the friends & family of Cascadian Farm. The faces won’t be included on our redesigned packaging."
I had to rush down to my local Food Emporium, and see it for myself. And I could hear the little heads laughing at me. I handled the package so long, I felt compelled to buy it.
You win this round, Cascadian Farm. Guess what I'm having for lunch.

ReplyDeletethats cool and they should leave it..... bad mojo to change it now.
ReplyDeletelmao that is cool....and i loooooooooooove broccoli, gonna eat some tonight even. heads and all
ReplyDeleteI first thought you meant bug heads then I looked down at that other photo and saw those heads immediately! What a hoot! I see nothing wrong with leaving them in. How many people really pay that much attention to even looking for this sort of thing? I love Broccoli and would buy it regardless of the packaging. I mostly buy it in the fresh produce section. When I see those tiny little heads on it there, then I will be worried.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have that brand here in the south. Not seen it anyway. But I think they should keep that tradition. It makes them special!
