Featuring bright, colorful cartoon faces, the new packaging moved away from the brand’s long-running hippie, jungle-y aesthetic and felt fresh and unique. I wondered if it might have a similar impact on the brand’s growth trajectory as, say, Rxbar’s famous packaging redesign, and made a note to check back.

A year later, it’s gone.
