Absolute F*&%$ng Disgrace

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.

We all know that but the point is packaged like this they are targeting the younger people in society not smokers trying to quit and it will end up leading to flavoured e-liquids being banned and it shows they have no morals just want the Bucks.

True, but it still comes back to parenting. If people actually got off their arse and did some proper adulty adulting there would be less risk of incidents involving kids vaping, consuming juices and whatever else.

While advertising and packaging may lead a handful of kids to vaping, we all are hopefully aware that it doesn't matter what a bottle or a box looks like, more often is the case that it's peer pressure and if they want to start vaping they will.
Just like smoking, just like drinking, neither really had packaging that was aimed at children, but that never stopped them/us for doing either.

Absolutely but incase you haven't noticed as you go about your daily life there are plenty of (let's just say lacking in parenting skills) out their. That's not their kids fault and they are the ones that will suffer. These are adult products and should be marketed to adults which they are clearly not because if adults got swayed into buying these products based on the packaging they clearly have not properly grown up.

Sorry, but you are well wrong there. You are not so mature and clever that you are not swayed by presentation and design, we all are it how are brains are wired. Something could be the best product in the world, but if it looks shit or is poorly marketed it will be a commercial failure. We all like to think that we are smarter than the marketing men, but we aren't. If I look at the packaging of this ejuice than I am automatically thinking it is going to taste of Fanta, so if I like Fanta I am already 50% of the way towards buying it. It is marketed at adults. Adults like novelty items. Adults like stuff that makes them think of their childhood. Adults like Fanta just as much as kids do. On my desk right now I have flavoured juices that could be described as kiddy flavours...

Shark Gummies Red
Shark Gummies Blue
Raspberry Ripple
Strawberry Mousse
Cream Egg
Milk Bottles
Fruit Slushy
Sherbert Dumbledore
Parma Violets
Lemon Sherbert
Pink Glazed Doughnut
Strapplekwi
Toffee Sauce

Based on the logic that these types of flavours make vaping appealing to kids they should all be banned and the juices only available should be tobacco and flavourless. But nobody actually wants that. My avatar is Superman vs the Evil Nicotine, when I was a kid the cartoons and posters of Superman vs Nicotine were everywhere, I loved Superman (still do) but those adverts designed to appeal to kids did not stop me smoking. The only reason I smoked is because my mate Kevin did, because his big sister did and so on.

No vaping product is directly aimed at any particular one group, they are aimed at humans that like nice things, which is everyone.

The packaging is outrageous why don't you go through the whole thread and look at reactions to comments you will notice not one person has liked a thing you have written nobody agrees with you because you are talking a load rubbish.

So other than stealing a design concept from Coca-Cola they are guilty of nothing. AFAIK that stuff is available in 0mg with an optional nicotine shot, which makes it and that bottle fully TRPR compliant.

That clears that up it's TRPR compliant silly me that makes it ok then. Never heard so much rubbish in my life people with your attitude will kill vaping.
 
As I said earlier in the thread, I think the bottle in the OP is a fake, or clone. I have never seen genuine Fantasi Juice sold in a soda bottle on any vendors site, even the Malaysian vendors, but I think I have seen it on ebay. Until we can confirm that the company is actually using that soda bottle in the OP as packaging, we should not be pillorying the manufactrurer for that packaging. Of course, if they are, then they deserve all the abuse.

The copyright infringement is a different issue, and is blatant. But it was the soda bottle that caused the outrage and I'm not even sure it is genuine.

This is not marketed to an adult unless the said adult has never grown up and anyone who defends this sort of packaging shame on them
 
But kids can't buy ejuice from websites using promotion like that. The bottle is a standard dripper bottle.

I thought this thread was about children accidently coming across a bottle and thinking it is drink, not marketing (no ejuice vendor should be selling to kids anyway).
