Happy Boy Margarine

Scan of the Happy Boy Margarine Box

Product packaging has grown universally slick. Even if the design is poor, it’s executed by an adroit team of Photoshop craftsmen. The folds of the Land-O-Lakes Indian girl’s robes are a smooth gradient, the Pepsi logo has a Gaussian-blurred drop-shadow. Happy Boy Margarine is an exception. Let us hope the design is deliberately fixed, that it’s not in the queue for a touch-up.

Hi,

Read your comments on Happy Boy Margarine. I am that boy, now 54 years old! I don’t think the picture can be touched up. I remember when they took it back in the early 1950’s. My Dad owned the company at the time…has since been sold.

Cheers,

Jeff “happy boy” lowenfels
