Gummy Sweets Mix
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A Sweet Box with Added Bastards
A colourful confectionery box combining familiar gummy sweet branding with a completely unnecessary amount of crude humour.
Whore Bastards takes the conventions of colourful sweet packaging and pushes them somewhere considerably more inappropriate.

Origin Notes
Another one where I thought it would be fairly quick and easy, but there is more to create than I initially thought.

Notes
This was the first product I took to a supermarket to photograph on the shelf. Taking it out of a bag was fine. Putting it back looked considerably more like shoplifting.
