In a follow up to our July 2009 Ruiz+Company post, we are profiling new work with the Chocolate Factory candy company and design experts Ruiz+Company. The new packaging is so mouth watering, we can taste the chocolate from the visual. Enjoy some photos below, in which we are particularly fond of the chocolate bar post card.

This may come as a bit of a Debbie downer for the Yummy section but hear us out. The Diet Scale is a new concept scale designed by Ji Lee. The idea is that instead of showing the an actual weight number on the scale, this scale tells the person what to eat according to their weight. Unless the scale tells you to eat one piece of lettuce (which is an option), we think this is a much kinder way of going about one's weight. Tomorrow we'll counter this post with something mouth watering and unhealthy.

The Savannah Bee Company recently released a new trio of honey created for purposeful pairings. Their Cheese, Grill and Tea honeys are a finely tuned food accompaniment, utilizing the golden nectar's subtle sweetness. The Cheese honey is rich and full, pairing well with salty cheeses while the Grill honey caramelizes barbecued fare, adding a hint of sweetness without overpowering. Tea honey easily infuses any tea, upping the antioxidant level.

We are in love with the clever packaging of these coffee cups and accessories from UK based coffee shop, Puccino’s Coffee. Every cup, to-go bag, or simple packet of sugar, contains a witty or snark comment that will bring a smile or laugh to your morning joe. Check out a few more packing photos below.
