I am head over heels in love with the copywriting for Oatly oat milk cartons.

I want to befriend the writers, the marketing and brand team, and the oats this milk came from.

Wait—were the writers ON oat milk at the time? That would explain this unhinged and incredible copy.

Some of us just want simple things: like our ottomans to back up our photo library while we rest our feet on them.

What my tea bag told me today: The worst enemy we have is our own fear.

I wonder what kind of voice “Spiced Blackberry” would speak in. Maybe something raspy. Hardened. Weathered.

Polaroid has me real philosophical right now.

There was never a doubt in my mind who would top this list.

I’m curious how this would change without songs and artists I only listen to during workouts. (e.g., Crystal Lake)

It’s deeply unsettling to be advertised random pills I’ve never heard of before after placing an order on Amazon.

Print or typography people: Why does the ‘d’ look so odd to me in the word “bod” here?

I suppose I’ve always expected it to simply be a mirror reflection of a ‘b’, but perhaps I’m too used to sans-serif typefaces?

Why does this bug me so much? Seems to only appear when you like something.

CSS tip: in an attribute selector, you can put an 'i' just before the closing square bracket to indicate the matching should be case-insensitive.
