Some shots from our Desert Margarita Shoot. The @drinkparch Desert Margarita is maybe their tastiest Non-Alc cocktail yet honestly?? Definitely our fave. Agave sweetened and powerfully sour and full of enough complexity and depth to hold it all.
LONERS, a new card game from Weast Coast! 2-4 players, ages 8+. Coming soon!
Loners is a ladder-climbing card battle where youâll recruit street toughs, build sick combos, and learn new curse words. I already know them all so I donât need to learn them.
Premium chocolate packaging has been leaning into quiet luxury and muted earth tones, but @maevechocolate just blew the doors off with packaging inspired by a carnival poster. â
â
@youngjerks illustrations for the Fantastical Fair Foods collection are a full sensory experience on their own, drawing deeply from the visual language of American fair culture and vintage midway signage, with every wrapper packed edge to edge in a maximalist composition of Ferris wheels, food stalls, swirling soft serve, and grinning characters.â

Kreatures of Comfortâs Meal One overnight oats packaging design is text-heavy and brightly colored, and itâs absent elements typical of the category, like bowls full of oatmeal.â
â
@youngjerks used this wall of text approach to highlight the nutritional information for Meal Oneâs high-protein oatmeal.â

Two dads live and in person! Dan and Dan are keynoting @cropcons in Austin Texas this year with a ton of other great speakers. Weâre excited to hang and maybe key a cyber truck. Who knows!
Dreams do come true. Iâve been looking at @thedieline for a very long time (20 years?) As a designer, I would always look to their vision for the future of packaging. And with the help of the @youngjerks and the best @beeteeth (Dan Christofferson) theyâve recognized the work weâve been doing over the last few years. What a cool sight to see when your business and the work youâve been doing is displayed front and center on the homepage. đâ¨
GODDAMNIT, DONUT. We teamed up with our best buds @maevechocolate and author @mattdinniman for a limited edition Dungeon Crawler Carl bar. Oops, it already sold out. Sorry. (Edit: as of today, itâs back in stock!) The bar is inspired by Princess Donutâs favorite drink, the Virgin Dirty Shirley. It starts with sustainably sourced, delicious dark chocolate, melts into a creamy white chocolate center, and is packed with sweet, dried cherries and popping candy that crackles with fizzy magic. Or, as Donut herself would probably say: âCarl, if my chocolate doesnât sparkle, what are we even doing here?â
DONâT MIND IF I DO. Our friends at Canary Cocktails make delicious, full-proof canned cocktails full of great ingredients and good times. These guys are ready to party. I am too, but nobody invited me. Itâs because of my bad haircut isnât it.
