Table Talk and Drake's



Pr*tty
I love that they’ve embraced the retro kitsch of this logo and use it in such a simple, striking way. I can’t help but picture a 70s game show by the same name (of course it would involve pies smashed into the faces of the losers). This even older box is pretty awesome, too.

Sh*tty
In case you’re missing the disharmony on the face of this box, there’s about 10 disparate design elements at play here. And yet all I can see with my rage-o-vision is that missing i-dot on the word Fruit, made all the more enraging by the fact that Pies still has its. On a separate note, how did I get into my 30s without knowing a drake is a male duck?

  1. what fantasyland location has a nearly full pallet of peach pies on display for your enjoyment? or are these not regulation size pies?

    the kitchy retro logotype knocked out of checkered tablecloth red is glorious. I wish the supporting type and graphics were also on board.

    and yes, that Drake's box is a sh*t feast for the eyes.

  2. These are not indeed regulation size. Pocket size, to be more exact. Available in every grocery store in NYC.
