Look at these great old labels for cheese spreads. The text is goofy:

Whatever else you glean from this heirloom label collection, it stands as a graphic reminder that the confluence of art, branding, and food can be a powerful thing, revealing as much about ourselves as the world around us.

1.) Duh, and 2.) Huh? What this heirloom label collection reveals is that design of yesteryear is, by and large, way better than design of today. Also: BARRY is cute.
