Did you know the first graphic t-shirt is attributed to the Wizard of Oz? Or that there is a music genre called Grungegaze? Or what was the most popular Halloween costume the year you were born?

We’ve been critical in the past about CPG brands jumping into the alcohol category with collaborations that are, to be kind, a stretch. (Still looking at you, Eggo Appalachian Sippin’ Creme.) Occasionally, however, a brand collaboration will give us the warm and fuzzies from concept to design. Enter Swiss Miss, with ‘Shmallow, a toasted marshmallow whiskey. If this tastes even half as good as it looks, it will have us lighting the fire pit, toasting s’mores, and sipping a glass or two. And if it tastes even better than it looks, there might be some yodeling involved. Check out that link, plus a few more links to properly kick off October, including simple yet slightly creepy tattoos and 31 new horror movies releasing this month. Plus, Fujifilm revives the cult of traditional point-and-shoot cameras, an iconic Midwest dive bar, and a throwback to a post-punk album from 1990, all in our latest Weekly Collection: https://bit.ly/47QQyXp #destroyagency #practicallydangerous #creativity #advertising #strategy #design #instagram #packaging #branding #insights #beverageindustry #whiskey #music

1 in 4 UK drinkers are embracing “zebra striping” — taking a one-for-one approach in switching between alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Why is this important, especially for N.A. brands? An identical 1 in 4 defaults to tap water as their non-alcoholic “stripe,” representing a latent market. (Source: Beverage Daily, September 18, 2024; https://bit.ly/3Y89nC4)

Standing out as a job applicant is always tough, so we have to tip our hat to Pizza Hut and their new marketing campaign that will print your resume on the top of a pizza box and deliver it to a prospective employer. Frankly, we would’ve led with this just on the name alone: The “ResZAmes” campaign. Well done. In other links this week, we have simply bold tattoos from South Korea, artist-designed gaming chairs from Herman Miller, Tupperware as a stark reminder of why both distinctiveness AND differentiation are important, and a holiday-themed Shirley Temple flavor from 7UP. Plus, a new band doing their best to revive 90s shoegaze, all in our latest Weekly Collection: https://bit.ly/3XZHoVb #destroyagency #practicallydangerous #creativity #advertising #strategy #design #instagram #packaging #branding #insights #beverageindustry #music

Normally, we lead into our Weekly Collection with a comment or observation about one of the highlighted posts. This week, we want to comment on the cover image, and more specifically, whipped cream pie fights. When was the last time anyone had one? Are people eating fewer pies? Are they having fewer food fights? We have so many questions. One thing we do know, we should have more pie fights in our lives. In actual links this week, we have rock illustrations and tattoos, a rediscovered archive of punk rock photos, Sizzler’s rebrand, a $10 million cocktail, and a bourbon that hopefully tastes better than it looks. Plus, music from a Dublin post-punk band, all in our latest Weekly Collection: https://bit.ly/3TuvZdf #destroyagency #practicallydangerous #creativity #advertising #strategy #design #instagram #packaging #branding #insights #beverageindustry #whiskey #music

What happens when a category that originally rejected all the rules ends up creating its own set of rules? When it comes to craft beer, one brewery has decided to go literally postmodern and reject the rules once again. (This could actually apply to a number of categories out there, but craft beer is one of the top ones at the moment.) Check out the story behind Stillwater Brewing’s rebrand in our latest Weekly Collection. In other links you may want to check out, we have a mash-up of retro comics and music into cool art, how Faygo became the drink of choice for ICP, cats on packaging getting coffee, and an Alien invasion of facehuggers in NYC. Plus, fuzzy, catchy garage music, all in our latest Weekly Collection: https://bit.ly/4cSHORj

We’re posting this on the Friday morning before Labor Day, so if you’re reading this now, we have to ask - why? Finish up your work and go enjoy friends, family, and a long weekend. Otherwise, if you’re getting this in your feed after the weekend, then we hope the links in our latest Weekly Collection brighten up the after-holidays, end-of-summer blues. Enjoy either way: https://bit.ly/475EOQo #destroyagency #practicallydangerous #creativity #advertising #strategy #design #instagram #packaging #branding #insights #beverageindustry #music

After our creative director went to the Black Flag show this week, we’re revisiting some of the work from Raymond Pettibon, an artist we greatly admire. His series on surfers and waves is on our bucket list for a piece of art we’d like to own one day. It’s the perfect intro for our Weekly Collection because that’s the point of it all — get out, explore, and get inspired. In other links this week, we have vintage coffee mugs, a list of the most expensive bourbons in the world that will make your head hurt, how bizarre advertising used to be not that long ago, and a celebrity-backed whiskey that’s sure to get people buzzing. Plus, new dreamy, hazy music from a band with the name to match, all in our latest Weekly Collection: https://bit.ly/3XeC4N7 #destroyagency #practicallydangerous #creativity #advertising #strategy #design #instagram #packaging #branding #insights #beverageindustry #spirits #whiskey #bourbon #music

How do you make a concentrated sorbent product used for commercial spills fun and creative? It starts with having a great client that’s willing to do something unique and different. That’s how Spill-O-Matic came to life, with a ‘50s-style design and an illustrated character that has a squeaky-clean reputation, but also a bit of a dirty mouth. Cheers to Classic Car Studio for continuing to be great partners! https://bit.ly/3Ayx8K9
DESTROY on Instagram: "It is not every day that we get to create a brand and packaging for a concentrated sorbent product. This could've gone the safe expected industrial cleaning product look and feel. Instead, we brought the product itself to life to create a smart-assed character (illustrated by @artbrister ) with a lot of attitude, all with a retro gas station look and feel. Thanks, @classic_c

By now, you’ve probably seen or read about Hellmann’s Mayo Cologne collaboration with Titan’s quarterback, Will Levis. Unlike some collaborations that come off as trying too hard, this one steers into the skid and the absurdity, and therein lies the magic. Because when was the last time you talked about Hellmann’s, or even remember a Hellmann’s ad? Never? Never feels about right. In other links this week that might get you talking, we have illustrated dystopian designs, lovely pop art packaging design, an essay about the lack of anything truly avant-garde these days, and another collaboration of two flavors we never would’ve put together. Plus, new shoe gaze music for fans of My Bloody Valentine or Brian Eno, all in our latest Weekly Collection: https://bit.ly/3YIkyCc #destroyagency #practicallydangerous #creativity #advertising #strategy #design #instagram #packaging #branding #insights #beverageindustry #spirits #soda #music
