Epic Fail: Tesco Packaging Looks A Lot Like Another Type of “Package”

We're just going to leave that one off of the shopping list...

What a cock-up! 

When you’re a designer for a supermarket chain the size of Tesco, we can only imagine the amount of products that must cross your desk in search of a new look.

So, it seems inevitable that not all packaging is created equal, and sometimes a design flaw won’t be exposed until the product hits store shelves.

Which is exactly what happened when the Metro UK spotted an unusual design on some buttermilk packaged for Irish branches.

In fact, the packaging looks suspiciously like another type of… “package”. Awkward.
