You'll never find a box of Cap'n Crunch or a pack of Slim Jims in a hipster's house. Why? Well, aside from the fact that neither are organic, the colors of the packaging would simply clash too much with all of the other artfully designed products in their food cupboard.
But what would such products look like if they too had the hipster makeover? Well take a look at the pictures below to see for yourself. They were created by Dan Meth, a US artist who's reimagined some of America's most famous snacks as fancy pantsy gourmet food. From Twinkies and Nerds to Fruit by the Foot and Cinnamon Graham Dunkaroos, these rebranded snacks wouldn't look out of place in even the most gentrified household. Which one do you like the most? Let us know in the comments below!

Yes, but here is a VITAL question, in the packaging on the right, are they separated by color? Because the ingenious design of the one on the left is that you can open the sides to eat the colors individually, or if you like to live dangerously, you can mix them

You could also say that by having a more unique/special packaging people will take more time to actually properly taste and enjoy these snacks and thus increasing their value. What I would also find interesting is a post where we would repackage expensive food/drinks as junk food like caviar or old whiskey's in a basic can.

Soon everyone will be buying the fancier packaged versions and the hipsters will want the junky looking packaging, it's a cycle

Hipsters will buy/do anything so long as no one else is. Once they find out there are more than 10 people interested in a topic, they lose interest. One way to give a hipster a heart attack is to mention that you've heard of the band/food/store they're talking about. They'll flip out!

I once read a study where a bunch of researchers quizzed hipsters on completely nonexistent bands, and the hipsters all pretended to know about them...

Absolutely dead on with this. Nailed it. Only thing is, hipsters have mostly morphed into yupsters. They're the ones with all the cash, stupid enough to drop $20 on an "artisanal" Slim "James" or Captain Crunch box. They are EVERYWHERE in my city. I know plenty of them. Fools will gladly pay $14 for something that is $3 a couple doors down just... because. Idiots.

So basically, just put it in a cigar box? Pretty. I love pretty boxes and have bought a few things just to get the packaging.

Having had a heart Attack and 5 times bypass covering 14 blockages I wouldn't eat any of that c**p but I wouldn't say that I got there from eating that stuff because I never did.

There's a cereal fast food kiosk by the Barclay Center in Brooklyn. Combining different cereals is a hit.

I don't really understand the hipster movement. Is it just fashion and style, or is there an ideology behind it, like the punk scene? It seems like so many people in my age group dress like hipsters. Im not in any way passing judgement, just looking for clarification.

only one I like is the Four Loko one, to be honest I have degree in both design and marketing, I would say that what the artist did is called rebrand and also repositioning, and some of the 'repackaging' seems dont know ... old? and tradition? I know this supposed to be minumal eco stuff but there's something which I dont know what maybe becoz I see the original product thats why it is a bit off but judging from the package alone then good job ... though this become more popular and boring I am talking about the bround paper thing
