Man I need to play that game again. Pumped for 2

It's so great. It's like the entire game was conceived on an acid trip by a paranoid old tinfoil hat hippie.

I can’t seem to find any evidence online but there did used to be a supermarket in the UK in the 80s/90s called ‘No Frills’ and all their products were also just black and white packaging.

The UK never had a No Frills. The No Frills chain started in Toronto, Ontario in 1978 and originally had the black and white packaging before switching to the. yellow and black. No Frills is a major grocery store chain in Canada, though it is owned by the Loblaws who suck balls.

In the 1990s, the chain Kwik Save launched a No Frills brand, offering cheaper generic products, an idea that has since been taken up by all of the major supermarket chains

This existed (well the products anyway) in the 80s.

would anyone actually like that? how am i supposed to know anything about a product if it's just called "chips"?? what's the flavor, texture, what does it look like?

maybe partially transparent packaging would be nice, though

[–] [email protected] 36 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, no one could like that. Not like there is a whole set of us that basically live off the stuff or anything.......

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I am unreasonably upset by the chips bag having a picture and a splash of non-yellow on it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

Yeah, that one is odd. Some have a band of colour though. I think its when there are flavours.

Australia has black & gold but it is a generic brand, mixed in with all the others.

Hmmm, I would buy the shit out of that aesthetic.

In Korea there's a brand called No Brand. I like shopping there cause they have a few good deals and western snacks that don't get stocked in normal markets.

My wife texted me the above image earlier and, I kid you not, this is my reply:

Who remember the "NoName" floppies and cd roms?

Quite awful quality IIRC.
