So in China, you can now buy gold stickers to adorn your iPhone making it look like the highly desired golden iPhone 5s. We’re talking $2 versus $200 for the real deal. But where’s the fun in that?
Where is the challenge for those with ingenuity and innovation? The more satisfying task is to figure out how to transform golden Pop Tart wrappers into a veneer for your iPhone.
One box of Gone Nutty tarts could outfit three iPhones.
When we first heard the rumors that Apple was creating a new gold iPhone 5s, we balked. It would be too gaudy, too ostentatious, too un-Apple-like, an accessory only Mr. T would love. But then it arrived in its champagne tone, and opinions swayed from disbelief to desired. But little did we know that Apple was merely taking design cues from Pop Tarts.
Months ago when rumors of the golden iPhone surfaced, Pop Tarts launched its “Gone Nutty” peanut butter toaster pastries. Besides the new flavor, these tarts feature a ridged box pattern and golden packages.
Take note of the golden similarities thought not exactness. These wrappers are subdued. They aren’t brilliant but unmistakably metallic. So what if design inspiration perhaps came from Jony Ive ripping open a pack of Gone Nutty Pop Tarts?
Saw these new Holiday-themed Pop Tarts at Walmart. These are limited editions with images printed on the some of the varieties. I bought the Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts since they seem less scary than the printed ones. Haven’t tried them yet.
Spotted these new Ice Cream Shoppe flavors of Pop Tarts: Vanilla Milkshake, Ice Cream Sandwich, Hot Fudge Sundae. And with 25% less sugar! Once they go on sale, I’ll give them a try.
