If you’ve ever wondered how you could make those junk foods of yours appear more fancy… it’s all about the packaging.
Dan Meth over at Buzzfeed tests this theory, by repackaging some very unsophisticated food, to make them appear more artisanal.
For example, Slim Jim become Slim James, and suddenly the meat-like stick is suitable for the snootiest of food snobs.

Kids scream for ice cream. But do they care about the fancy flavors offered by artisanal ice cream makers?
This video helps kids step out of their vanilla and chocolate comfort zone, and tests their underdeveloped palates. The kids are asked to taste some artisanal ice cream flavors — such as Sweet Corn with Blackberry — and then guess what’s in them.
The results are what you might expect. Although it is funny to see kids guess that most flavors are just plain ol’ vanilla. Kids are so unsophisticated.
Bompas & Parr — famed for curating Willy Wonka inspired events — are this week installing the world’s first artisanal chewing gum micro-factory.
