    I’m actually going to say that I think designing a restaurant for disastrously unhealthy fast food in a way that makes it look and feel like a playground shouldn’t be legal, and I’m happy to see them look as dull and unappealing as possible to young children.

    The ongoing health crisis is so severe in no small part because of things like that 1990s picture getting kids addicted to trash. This post feels like someone from the 1970s yearning for the days of Joe Camel. Plain packaging does work.

    Edit: I thought Joe Camel was much older than it really is.

    It’s the same thing that happened to the fair phone regarding the audio jack

    The noisy minority wants it, they yell, write on forums and complain, but they are statically nonsignificant as people keep buying the phone

    Same with colors. Why waste millions on cars and buildings dyed with colors no one might want instead of appealing to the broader consumer base?

    They are also are influenced by and influencing fashion and trends in color choice as well, just look at minimalism and brutalism. It is also cheaper and more efficient on the design and manufacturing to offer things in less specialized coloration

    Proof is that people keep buying stuff

    Same as with furniture. There is a reason why Ikea is a whole thing

    Going into the meta, imagine someone wants to buy a car. Inevitably, they will think as well on the day they will sell the car. What are you gonna buy? A car painted in a weird color? Or something that you know for sure no one will mind THAT much?

    Ithat, or you can go with the theory of the Pixies finally doing their takeover
