Do you buy things for the packaging?

Default Do you buy things for the packaging?

Do you find yourself paying more for things that have interesting packaging even if the product is sub-par?

I just paid $5+ for bottled water (1 bottle) because the container was in this pimp glass cylinder.

Do you find yourself doing that and with what?

I've never done that, but I do appreciate nice packaging. I think the mini iPod is about the best I've seen lately.

I personally don't do it, but i know tons of people who do just to get a cool liquor bottle even if they don't like that particular drink.

We all know what you'd be doing with that bottle. I've read some of your posts.

Sorry, but it's got one of those things where if the seal is broken, you must immediately discard. I can't risk having it exchange hands like that.
