Gee, you think they are suggesting anything with the new packaging? I'm going to have to rethink my morning drive breakfast. I don't want that figure! 😉

it looks great on you though!
Interesting the way they market it. The bottle figure has to be a mental thing since so many other plastic bottled products are showing up this way.
+Raleigh Burke *blush* thanks for noticing! Wait… were you looking at the can? 😉
+Luis V. I will say this for the shape — when you are drinking it while driving, it is a lot easier to get the last drop and still see the road. The can was not road friendly. I wondered whether the switch had anything to do with the metal can and moving to plastic. I'm not as fond of having to tear off the plastic around the top of the new one, and then after unscrewing the plastic lid (one more piece of junk in the car bouncing around), you still have to peel off the plastic foil from the opening. I liked the "open can and drink" simplicity.
those taste so awesome.
You sure won't look as manly drinking out of the new packaging… oh, drinking slim-fast, probably not an issue anyway. 🙂
+Keith Cramer I like it for the taste.
lol. It really does feel like they tailored the bottle to a female audience (mistake?). I'd love to know what the split is for the product.
Yeah. I'd much prefer they called it "Healthy Meal Replacement" instead of going for the "I'm a woman trying to lose weight" kind of feel. I get embarrassed to be seen drinking it and always find myself offering up an explanation as to the fact I drink it for the convenience and the taste as much as anything else.
Hm. Even chocolate milk is coming in those hourglass figure shaped plastic bottles.
+Luis V. +Keith Cramer Even my G2 bottle, which isn't a classic hourglass shape has a "waist" to it. Check out the following article I found while obsessing over this.

Scott, you get a +2 for the research. That's pretty good. 🙂
+Scott Cramer funny, i've been scouring the web for this too. The only article I've found with any real substance has been the same one you have.
The more I think about it, An hourglass bottle shape may appeal to men as well as women for psychological reasons, After all, both men and women are trying to obtain that shape (for different purposes of course!)
Also, the hourglass shape lets the bottle seem larger and of course… They are easier to hold.
Now, why am I researching and thinking about hourglass shaped beverage containers at 2am.
Ahh yes…(as I close the windows that were open researching this)…I'm up studying for my thesis. Yeah, That's it!
You realize, there are people doing important things in the world right now! lol
It's just much earlier in different parts of the world.
In another six to eight hours I will be drinking one of these. 😉
I'll probably be drinking a Mountain Dew, that does not have an hour-glass shape…yet.
Guys, stop. You're gonna make go look in the fridge and pantry searching for how many items i have shaped in hourglass figure!
Gatorade the G-2 brand, Ice Mountain water…and NO Slim Fast except for a can that a blind man may think it was a spaghetti can!
+Luis V. Argh. You had to suggest that. On my side, G2, Powerade Zero, VFusion, and oddly enough French's Mustard. Oh, and Mrs. Butterworth. 😉
Great, now I want waffles.
+Luis V. Not to be outdone, Ice Mountain drink, the large V-Fusion bottle, and I also noticed the mustard and mayo squeeze bottles are sporting the hour-glass too!
And the Smuckers caramel sundae syrup…(burp!)…excuse me!
Very interesting I’d bet that they spent millions just coming up with that packaging!
