Toxic Waste advertisement and packaging
Magazine ad for Toxic Waste Hi-Voltage Bubble Gum from ca. 2008
Toxic Waste is a line of sour candies by Candy Dynamics from Indianapolis.
The advertisement for their Hi-Voltage Bubble Gum shown above features Ad Lib for “Torment your Taste Buds!” and “New!”, mostly in all caps, AG Book Stencil, a style unique to the AG Book Family, is used for “Shockingly Sour BUBBLE GUM!”, and “Over 2 Feet of Gum!” uses Techno. Secondary fonts include Akzidenz-Grotesk (plus Condensed) and Univers Ultra Condensed.
The packaging combines Kaffeehaus (an interpretation of Kaufmann with rounded terminals) for “Hi-Voltage” with Stencil (ATF) for “Toxic Waste”, supported by more Techno. The typeface chosen for the “Nuclear Sludge” packaging is Stop. The Candy Dynamics logo is based on Mister Earl, with stretched letterforms.
