I think the packing is very important for the food. Can you imagine if the packing is black and white? Calbee is a snacks brand and I especially like its potato chips. Now due to Strait of Hormuz crisis and the costs have increased. So they change the packing as black and white as you see from the attached image. I don't know what to say, but less attractive look is for sure. On the other hand, perhaps you can regard it as a speciall collection as I think it won't last forever and sooner or later the crisis will be ended. Of course sooner is better

You are right. You may not have the appetite to see it...

@youless That's true. Black and white is less appetizing when it comes to food

I hope they will not have problems with their marketing strategy to get sales.

It is very unattractive, isn’t it. But, like you said, it could be considered special addition since this won’t last forever. I notice the packaging too.

I hope this effect won't last for a long time.

It would make you less hungry for the food not seeing what it looks like.

I guess we can expect a lot of changes if the fuel price remains high.

No matter how much we don't like it, but the Strait of Hormuz crisis has already affected so many things.
