The only way they will stop this stupidity is if people stop buying their products
Absolute F*&%$ng Disgrace

I've said this before and I'll say it again.
Juice should be subject to a plain packaging law in the same vein as cigarettes but obviously without the hideous health warnings. I couldn't give a toss how the product is packaged as long as the contents are what I want.
This sort of crap is just making the good fight harder to win.

I don't normally jump on the bandwagon about stuff like this. But yeah that bottle is fucking ridiculous.. It just seems completely unnecessary. When with fantasi has such a huge name anyway everybody knows they are getting a quality product. Having it in a bottle like that makes no sense. Although I don't agree that company's cartoon their bottles up to appeal to kids like some people say. I do think that alot need to tone it down a bit. A drinks bottle :/ whatever next. Thank god no one's brought out a fruit shoot flavour yet or we'd all be in deep shit

Disagree, of course they are packaging to young people i'm an adult and they definitely are not packaging it targeting me i grew out of finding packaging like this appealing over 20 years ago.

Can someone find me a link to this juice being sold in the bottle shown in the first post?

I have just sent a query to the Coca-Cola company asking whether this is their doing, and what they intend to do to stop it.
This sort of thing will be used by the anti brigade to paint vapers as evil child-corrupters. The government is already trying to punish us for its lost tobacco revenue, the last thing we need is an excuse to be further demonized.

Had a good Google around yesterday and what I found was the only evidence of the packaging shown in the op's photo is, well, that photo.
On an instagram type link and here and a couple of other 'pinterest' type sites.
I cannot find another single image of ejuice in this type of packaging of any brand or any for sale anywhere.
The whole thing is a bit Facebook drama style bandwagon y.
You know, where one enraged parent posts a photo of their kids juice pouch which clearly had the seal integrity damaged and got mould in then suddenly everyone and their mothers is enraged and wants to send a flaming angry mob to the factory because that one parent can't think, oh well, I didn't check that well enough and sh*t happens.
Point is, that packaging looks to be custom made, either a sample pop bottle with a dripper cap or some other novelty that someone made for the photo or for the fact they thought a pop bottle shaped bottle would look good for ejuice.
I agree that the manufacturer are blatantly copying Fanta logos and they openly state they're designed to taste like Fanta pop and that's marketing for you, when I was a kid and watched motor racing (any sport for that matter except I didn't watch other sports like football because it's crap), smoking was pushed at you from all angles and was the sexiest thing you could do!
Like cigarettes, I assume the responsibility is on the vendor to do appropriate age checks before selling like with cigarettes so a youth isn't going to buy one from an over the counter vendor and parents clearly shouldn't leave ejuice within reach of kids and should teach them about these things.

Quite frankly I don't like things presented like that, it's the same with the pokeball mods (fasttech but can't recall the name) the dragonball atties, even the brightly coloured 3d printed mods make me wonder who it is targeting.
That being said, with the worry more about kids seeing the previously mentioned eliquids and drinking them.......That shit is on the parents. If the parents don't have the sense to look at a product and think "that looks like a tasty beverage, Id better store it out the way incase little timmy thinks it's fanta..." then they are not going to win the parent of the year award and may possibly have to live with the guilt of causing harm to their child.
My son was five when I started vaping, and I did what any responsible parent should do. I made sure things were stored out of the way and I told him what it was and the possible implications of it.
We've had no negative experiences, and if I happen to leave a liquid out he'll bring it to me.
