Was this really necessary?

So Sunmaid has given their Raisin girl a makeover, ostensibly to educate consumers about healthy living choices. Personally I think it's a crock and they just wanted some tits on the box.

Here's the article, with both girls shown.

What do you think? Do you like the old or the new raisin girl better?

Tits sell!

Hey, got anymore sexy dresses to wear for us guys?

 

[Cattypuss]

How on earth has she managed to heft that big buch of grapes up with such thin arms?

 

[ZRT]

I'll go with the old one just because we are eradicating all our traditional images in favor of new CG ones. It's the blatant CG in the new one that bugs me, even if I do approve of the tits.

And I do approve of tits.

Horrid, nonsensical. Who is wearing a sunbonnet? Is raisin girl the most ironic hipster ever? Is she going to be wearing her sunbonnet to the gym?

Free Tibet.

 

[Keroin]

Is she going to be wearing her sunbonnet to the gym?

Oh...um...is that not fashionable? *Takes off bonnet and hides it under chair*

Free Tibet.

Word.

At least she's wearing more than this guy.

One would think that after billions of bags of peas peddled, he could afford a pair of pants.

I didn't vote, because I'm not really into boobies. I'm very much an ass man and my perfect woman could be flat chested, for all I care...as long as she has that ass that I adore and crave.

So, you needed something along the lines of "I don't really care for big boobies...but now give me a couple of packs of gum and we'll talk.

After looking at the picture I just have to add...being a grape lover from way back...don't those in the new picture look delicious? The grapes, people...not the melons...the grapes!

I don't eat raisins, so I'm not bothered at all.

I love the Jolly Green Giant!

 

[JMohegan]

I love the Jolly Green Giant!

He looks to me like he borrowed Tinkerbell's costume for the photo shoot.

Not that there's anything wrong with that, of course.

"In the valley of the Jolly *Ho Ho Ho!* Green Giant!"

"In the valley of the Jolly *Ho Ho Ho!* Green Giant!"

Man, I hadn't even thought of that jingle in years.

Very evocative, to stay so strong after all this time.

I don't like either of them. I can see them wanting to update the 'face of their product', but seriously? A bonnet? If they're gonna update her, they would have ditched the bonnet, cause no 'modern, updated' person wears bonnets anymore.

Maybe he comes from a male dress-wearing culture?

I don't know, his sexual identity is a mystery to me. Now I'm going to spend my lunch break thinking about it.

Curse you, JM!

Well the bonnet was a key feature of the original one. I like it. I guess I'm the only one.

Again with the bonnet slander.

*Stuffs bonnet collection into garbage bag while wiping away tears*

Curse you, Gracie!

At least now you won't get bees in it.

The point I was trying to make is that if they want to stick with old fashioned they should stick with old fashioned. If they're going for 'modern' then bonnets are not modern.

It's not about the tits, exactly. When a company tweaks their brand, it gives them a chance to launch new advertising, attract new customers, and maybe (as in this case) get free publicity.

She wouldn't be the sun=made girl without the bonnet. She'd be Barbie. Lay off the damn bonnet, Gracy.

Better access for Mr. Clean?

 

[Netzach]

Is there a direct competitor in the ultra competitive raisin market? What is it? Golden I think?

I mean tits or no tits how much more raisin market share can you get, it's almost like Kleenex to snot rags?

I know this guy, FP, he's 90-something, funny as hell. His family used to grow grapes and make their own raisins. They also had animals. FP had a pet pig named Petey. Seriously.

Well, one day, while FP is at school, Petey gets into the raisin stash and eats about ten pounds of the suckers. (Fucking pig!)

Dried fruit + wet inside of pig belly = BOOM!

As FP described it: "I came home and there was Petey, deader than hell."

A cautionary tale if ever there was one.
