Welcome back everyone, my name is Danny Burke and today were taking a look atg the top 10
genius food packaging ideas … if you love food, youll probably be interested in some
of the clever ways it can be presented - there are some really smart designers out there
… you may also be interested in our discontinued food series up there - watch that after the
video because right now were Starting off at number 10 with Pocketchup.
Check this out - some genius designer made this after get incredibly frustrated with
the current fry and ketchup system that most of us use.
Having a fold out pocket for the ketchup like this allows you to eat and dip while you walk.
And it will only take you about an hour and half of walking to walk off the calories from
those fries.
Its a win win!

Next up at number 9 we have The Paper Dish.
Desingers in South Korea came up with this clever invention to sold a problem we all
get with pizza - it can be very hot and kinda greasy for your fingers.
The Paper dish is a serated paper plate - you put the pizza on top and then when you pull
on one of the taps, it tears a perfect slight away from the rest and gives you that little
tab to hold on to in the process.
Pizza has been around for a long time and were only now getting this …

Moving on to number 8 we have Goldfish Tea Bags.
OK this one is just cool to look at - its not necessarily useful like our previous two
- check out these Goldfish Tea Bags.
They don't look like much in the box but just like a fish - they come into their own in
the water.
As the tea expands in the hot water, so does the fish's body.
The traditional tea bag string is even turned into a little fish hook.
That can be cute or kinda morbid depending on how you look at it.
Cool either way.

Next up at number 7 we have Bad Milk.
You know when youre not sure if the milk has gone off?
You think it might have, you give it a smell but youre not 100% sure?
Well, this is gonna change your world.
Some designers have been working on a concept for a milk carton whos packaging changes colour
depending on how bad the milk has gone.
A lot of people love the idea because theyd never have to worry about this again - however,
others said that this would encourage them to throw away the whole thing as soon as they
saw any change in colour, even if the milk was probably OK.
What would you guys do?

Next up at number 6 we have The Blockbuster Box.
In 2015, Pizza Hut created a limited edition box that would turn your smartphone into a
movie projector.
The Blockbuster Box contains a hole to put the lens in.
The little tray they put in the middle of pizza to stop them getting squashed becomes
the lens slider.
After that, all you need is a smartphone playing a video and the image will be amplified onto
any wall you choose.
On paper, this sounds amazing - but the fact that its been a few years now and we havent
heard anything more makes me think something went wrong.
Perhaps too much pizza on the lends.
Such a shame.

Moving on to number 5 we have The Yoghurt Lid.
Yes, we say Yoghurt in the UK.
Im sure theres a lot of giggling Americans right now and a lot of British people confused
at all the laughing, say hi to each other in the comments.
Anyway, check this out - this is a yoghurt that comes with no spoon - you make the spoon
out of the lid.
The instructions to do this are written on top, showing which bits to fold and where.
The result is a handmade spoon that works just as well as any other except theres no
extra waste.
If youre gonna throw the lid away anyway, why not make use of it first!

Next up at number 4 we have the Anti Theft Lunch Bags.
Heres a question for you: would you eat this sandwhich?
No?
It looks rotten right - well its not.
Those green splotches are actually on the packaging.
This is an anti theft lunch bag - its designed to stop people from stealing your lunch.
This may be a problem at some schools but in some workplaces - people can get their
lunches stolen by their greedy co workers all the time.
One designer got so sick of this that they came up with these special lunchbags - theyre
$4 for 25, more expensive than normal ones, but nobody is ever gonna touch your rotten
looking sandwhich again …

Next up at number 3 we have The Frappuccino.
Now, I don't drink at starbucks, I had no idea this existed but a lot of you guys might.
They have an edible straw for their drinks.
The Frappuccino Cookie Straw is a wafer biscuit rolled and lined with chocolate that functions
just like a normal straw.
Starbucks started selling this with all their Frappuccinos back in 2015.
Have you guys tried this before?
I havent yet but I think the biggest challenge would be not eating the straw before you finish
the drink … thats a very 1st world problem isnt it …

Moving on to number 2 we have Spaghetti Servings.
OK, some of you might not be old enough to appreciate this one but if youre of a certain
age I know you will.
Check out this spaghetti packaging.
If you unfold one of the 6 flaps and pour the dry spaghetti out, one portion will fill
up the hole exactly - no more guessing and then making enough spaghetti to feed a small
village!
If youre making for 3, just unfold 3 flaps, its that easy!
This was designed by British student Neal Fletcher - yes, he was a student.
As a student, I only designed elaborate ways to sleep in.

And finally at number 1 we have The Edible Coffee Cups.
You heard me right.
In 2015, KFC unveiled a new line of coffee cups in the UK that you can eat.
Thats right, it holds real hot coffee and then you can eat the cup after you finish.
The cookie cups have been wrapped in sugar paper and layered with white chocolate to
achieve the desired effect.
Theyre called Scoffee cups and KFC didnt actually invent them on their own, they teamed up with
food scientists called The Robin Collective.
A spokesperson from the Robin collective said -Not only do the cups taste amazing, they
smell delicious too!- … thats nice but I think most people just want the coffee or
to eat the cup.
Or maybe I wrong.
Would you buy an edible coffee cup for the smell?
I cant believe that sentence just came out of my mouth …
