what happens when work and chocolate collide?

i’m glad you asked: several weeks ago, a cardboard carton showed up on my doorstep, containing an unadorned packet of foil-wrapped easter eggs. the kid was immediately interested, but i managed to beat her back. this was a sample pack of cocolo easter eggs for which i had to design an enticing label in time for the lead up to chocfest 2010 easter.

now you can own a packet of these too. i believe they are being sold in independent health / organic food stores around town. the chocolate is organic and fairtrade, and brought to you by an australian company (though it’s made in switzerland, so count those air miles), and comforting in the way that milk chocolate is.

i still have the mock-up i made, printed up on a 15-year-old bubble jet and stapled to the pack. it’s been sitting on my desk for the past month or so — i wasn’t sure if i had to return the sample bag to the chocolate people. right now i’m leaning towards “not”; those foil wrappers are glinting away awful purty.
