Apr 8 2009Yay!: Juice Boxes That Look Like The Fruit
What if juice boxes actually looked like the fruit that was inside? Then they would look like this! And, also, be more expensive. Yay!
Created by Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa, the juice box's packaging is supposed to be more appealing to the eye by imitating the actual fruit they contain. As Naoto puts it; "I imagined that if the surface of the package imitated the colour and texture of the fruit skin, then the object would reproduce the feeling of the real skin."
I love it. As you can see, that's what banana, strawberry, and shaven bull testicle boxes would look like there. Next up, milk. YOW YOW! Oh, wait -- breast milk. Juice me, baby.

What's the 3rd picture supposed to be? Crap, right?
That's what exactly what I was telling you awhile ago, kids? Never smoke cigarettes. It's gonna kill you if you do. Hahahaha
And I'm not supposed to take a bite off that strawberry, am I? 'Cause that sh1t looks super delicious.

Oh sheeeeht! I didn't notice the banana up there.
Now that... is nasty. How the phock would anyone wanna drink that crap? First of all, it's BANANA. Am I missing anything here? Well, clearly, this is just some Japanese bullcrap that's making its way into Weirdoville. Potasium drink doesn't really sound too shabby for me. So, what the heck.
Second of all, it's yellow and it's a straight up eye-sore. It's the color of my piss.

You should see the milk containers that looks like boobs here http://www.playusout.com/detailed.php?recordID=723

@3
You're sending off the wrong signals, girly.
He's a dino-freak. Unless you're a man-eating Broncosaurus (in which does not make any sense since Broncosauruses are totally vegetarian), then you got yourself quite a splendid deal. Although I tried to introduce Pteordactyls to him but he'd still prefer Raptusaurus over it. By Raptusaurus, I mean "Raptured vagina". In other words, he wouldn't mind banging an STD-infected hooker rather than having BJ's from Mr. T-Rex.

@12 - they look like stress relievers from dealextreme. I wouldn't use them to dispense milk though; they smell funny ... I hear.
15. Manfred - April 8, 2009 5:37 PM
@11
Hahaha... Good call on that, Jack.
@6
Thanks, buddy. Your mom looks uber yummy too.
16. Anexio - April 8, 2009 5:44 PM
The only juice box you'll ever see me sucking on is the one between my girlfriend's legs.
BaaZingggg!
17. Madgame - April 8, 2009 5:51 PM
They should make those individual milk cartons shaped like a boob
18. Ed aka the-iguana - April 8, 2009 6:28 PM
wooooow. That must be the oldest thing on this site. :|
come on my geeky friend, i bet you have cool stuff hiding there... oh wait, that sounds bad... no... sounds kinda cool actually. i don't know, i'm confused :|
19. Darth - April 8, 2009 6:31 PM
I'm getting thirsty looking at these!
20. Murphy - April 8, 2009 6:34 PM
Yum! I wouldn't mind spending a bit more $$... because it looks really cool. B-)

Can I have a little tiny grape juice box?
23. Fuzzy Ink - April 8, 2009 7:21 PM
I have to admit that when I saw these I really wanted to drink some strawberry punch. The packaging definitely worked for me. Mmm, Strawberries.

@18
I really like your site. Make it W3C validated and I'd like it more. :)
25. Marcos Garcia - April 8, 2009 7:48 PM
@18 Yup, the oldest thing in this site. I was searching for a reference to link, but this thing is so old that the website I searched removed the images. I found a weird page dated from 2006 with the words "banana juice box naoto fukasawa". Only this words.
26. OLD - April 8, 2009 8:26 PM
This is 5 years old. Naoto Fukasawa did it for the 2004 Haptic exhibition put on by Kenya Hara (Of MUJI fame, along with Fukasawa). Haptic is about the feeling the user has whilst using a product, touch and the like. it was never meant to be an actual product. There is also a soy milk carton, that looks and feels like tofu.
...the kiwi carton does look like a ballbag however.
27. OLD - April 8, 2009 8:28 PM
also... look at the sell by date on the banana carton. 17 april 2004
28. Daisy - April 8, 2009 9:03 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where MAx got in trouble for scalping tickets to the temple for some jewish holy day.

Old or not, that's f*@^ing awesome.

We need more juice boxes. I only recently discovered how perfect these contraptions are.

There is actually a bottle that breastfeeding moms can use for their babies that is supposed to be very breast-like:

Though they're not quite as realistic as what #12 posted!

Oh so CRUDE! ;o)

That brown one looks more like sack boy than a kiwi...
44. tangentodyssey - April 9, 2009 2:08 PM
Hey look, the kiwi ones come with cigarettes.
45. Valerie - April 10, 2009 7:51 AM
Lol, look at the expiration dates. They are like 8 years from now HAHAHAH!! mmmmm...eight year old banana juice. that sounds lovely.
46. dart - September 30, 2009 12:08 PM
Yum yum giant strawberry...or strawberry juicebox, whatever.
I wonder what they'd do with the multiple-fruit-juices ones (like tropical punch). One side of the box for each fruit? Pineapple would be painful.
And who seriously drinks kiwi fruit juice on its own?
47. Brittney - October 9, 2009 6:06 PM
@46 Kiwi fruit juice is plenty yummy on its own!
LOL! people couldn't work out what the kiwi one was. hehe.
I LOVE JUICE BOXES!!! Whenever I go over to my friends place I steal her little brothers juice boxes from the fridge :P
I wish they would actually make those, they look yummalicious. But they should put like, organic juice in it or something to justify the expensive price.
