If you like art and quirky, cosy, comforting things, you need to get your arse over to this nice place. It's hwayyoungsjungs's flicker photostream, where she's recreated some quaint brands of British food/snack packaging. Of course it isn't original, Warhol, was doing this in the 60s with Campbell's soup, and I don't doubt that there were others before that. However it gives one a warm glow to see Warburton's Toastie loaf recreated in its cartoony image. Perhaps one of your favourite brands or childhood favourites are here. There's Bovril, Bisto, Tate Lyle, Longley's, McDougal's, Bassetts... oh and many more. I wanted to put a nice picture here to illustrate it but I can't as they are copyrighted. So you'll have to click the link. I'm sure it'll give you a nice warm grin. Oh go on, here's a pic. I've already used that before on here though.
