Brands you don’t like because of the packaging

[SequinShagger]

Me. Charlotte tilbury. Just looks shit and naff

"Whose buying this product?"
I have no idea.

It's irrelevant to me because I don't have kids, but I always thought it was really weird that there was a range of prams etc called Bugaboo. When you say it out loud it sounds like Bugger Boo, which is not really a very kid-friendly concept. Ickle Bubba is truly horrific too, never heard of it before and wish I hadn't now.

I refuse to buy Innocent stuff because of the faux-chummy packaging (and because it's three times the cost of similar supermarket own-brand products) and any food items with Jamie Oliver plastered all over them pretending to be the authority on Italian cuisine.

It’s supposed to absorb nasty smells. I used to buy it when I shared a house with two male colleagues. For the bathroom. Don’t make me elaborate. It did seem to work but I agree you wouldn’t keep Neutradol around for its appealing smell!

Do shopfronts count?

Bargain Booze.

Ahhhh I see! no need to elaborate 😂 I always thought it was something that you might see in a building site toilet so I guess your explanation checks out haha.

I will say this for Bargain Booze. There’s no pretension there, is there? They are not resorting to Innocent/oat milk/we’re your artisan mates nonsense. Nor are they trying to peddle glamour. No, their cards are on the table. It’s all there in the name!

I think if it's an awful product then it's good that the packaging looks like that as it'll put people off buying it 😂

Looks like medicine to me

Can't remember the brand, but that perfume called "Good Girl" that's in a bottle in the shape of an impossibly high stiletto heel. It just gives me the ick.

I like L’Occitane packaging because you can take it back to the shop for recycling. Also they’ll take plastic empties of any beauty brand for recycling.

Anything packaged in plastic that doesn't need to be.

Food packaging with an open here corner where you pul it and end up holding a tiny plastic triangle while the food remains unreachable. 😡

I hate the plastic netting lemons come in.

The new Child’s Farm shampoo with the narrow rather than the wide top. Never fails to leak all over my son’s swimming bag even when I push the top down myself. On a similar note Pantene shampoo tops are really flimsy and snap too easily.

Yes, Bargain Booze just JARS!!
Love Lush products , will always buy them; no issue with actual cheap and cheerful packaging but the big logo is so ugly.... Cosmetics To Go was way more attractive

My God, cosmetics to go! Why, I haven't heard that name in....

I agree about the Lush logo, it is ugly. Not as ugly as them sending breast binders to vulnerable girls. I've not bought anything from them in ages.

Another vote for Tony Chocolonely. Even the name is awful..who the feck is Tony Chocolonely? And it looks like it was wrapped in Soviet Russia.

Molton Brown...the name makes me think of poo

Learning so much here. Fat Face is a ski slope! Superdry aren't Japanese!

I love CT packaging, don't care if she sleeps in her make up! I used to like no7 too, much more affordable but the packaging was black and sort of chanel-ish, now the new packaging is very cheap -looking.

oh wow, that is gorgeous. I love gucci bloom and I feel rightly or wrongly from that picture that Gorgeous Gardenia would be gorgeous. I need to go in to town and smell it.

I know what you mean, and ''The White Stuff'' also seems like a terrible name for a company.

Err.. yeah, most of the above!!

I don't care that Fat Face is named after a ski slope. The name still puts me off anyway. If you started a clothing company in Old Sodbury would you call it that?

Is anyone put off those Eat Natural snack bars? I can't even explain why but there has always been something about the packaging that really puts me off, like makes me think the food might be stale or something. I have absolutely no idea why. I've never even eaten one so they might be delicious for all I know, but I can't bring myself to try.

@ICriedAllTheWayToTheChipShop Bug a Boo is a Destiny's Child song from 1999. That's all I can think of when I see the brand name. The song is about some bloke who won't stop calling.

It might work if you were one of those businesses selling mail order ‘slacks’ from adverts in the Sunday Express!

Oddballs pants and boxers because their washing instructions used to say "give 'em to your mum".
